      China definitely, 100% bro, has no possible ulterior motives for subsidizing the fuck out of their electric vehicle industry to out compete it in its early stages across the west. Yeah, right.

      Tell me again about how China has no import tariffs on anything?

      If that was all it was about, I doubt all the Western car companies would have been pushing so hard for the tariff.

        The German car companies are very afraid of Chinese retaliatory tariffs on luxury cars.

          Sorry, you’re right. I thought I had read the opposite.

          However- they appear to be against the tariffs because it affects their exports and not because they think it’s bad for competition in Europe. I would think they would not want these Chinese car factories in the EU and will push for that to be sanctioned in some way.
