It is reported that the EU's initial anti-subsidy investigation will be implemented on July 4, and Chinese car companies' exports to Europe have recently begun to slow down, and there are still two months of resolution period between the two sides. Before the official start of the survey, the European media predicted that the results may not be optimistic, because many European car companies have preconceived ideas that the price of Chinese electric cars is unreasonable. Chinese brands have suffered a "loss decline" in the West, and many companies have said they will cut back on their presence in Europe. After all, in the future, the EU's measures will be more severe, and when the market is full of risks, it is normal for companies to be forced to leave, and their customers are already too few.

The source mentioned that after the preliminary ruling results are announced, there are still four months to negotiate and negotiate, and there are still many variables. However, the EU has repeatedly stressed that there is no new signal to all parties. This is equivalent to the fact that Europe only wants China to continue to make concessions, that they have not released anything goodwill, and that they have not made concessions, and the effect of such negotiations is doubtful. One of the contents is that Tesla, which produces electric vehicles in China, has asked the European Union to calculate its tax rate separately, and hopes that its tax rate will be lower than that of other imported brands, reflecting Europe's "fear of the enemy" of American companies, fearing that it will be dissatisfied with the United States and complained by American companies.

The report on the 29th also mentioned that the reason why the Western media want to focus on "China's 'hope' to solve the problem before July 4" is to assist the European side in the negotiations to increase their "bargaining chips" as an alternative to tariffs, the simple explanation is that the EU has been using the so-called deadline to pressure China, which has virtually determined a relationship: China is the party that needs to be resolved, not the EU. Although the instigator of the matter was the Western countries, through such a switch, China quickly took on a lot of passive pressure. In other words, the EU can take advantage of the outside world's eagerness for China's quick outcome of the negotiations and "ask" the Chinese side for a price during the negotiation process, which is a negotiation technique.

Analysts say that in fact, the victim is China, and the EU is forcing China to bow its head by turning Chinese companies into "potentially at fault" by "stealing concepts". So far, Chinese automakers have been very popular, and countries such as Hungary have opened their doors to Chinese investment; But these are difficult to correct the prejudice of the EU, they are still shouting at China after raising taxes, saying that they have been as "polite" as possible, and the most critical point is that the European Commission's approach may exacerbate the trade friction between China and the European market, and the results they pursue will not be too optimistic, and China may make an exemplary move to break the coveting of China by foreign countries.

It is also worth mentioning that, according to EU rules, the "disclosure of preliminary results" is only a pre-announcement of some temporary tax rates in the "preliminary results", so after the next investigation node has passed on July 4, the final program goal is November 2, during which Europe will force China to do something. There is a comment on this: "The EU is very skilled at playing this set of kidnapping and ransom abroad, and wants to obtain the formula and other information, and the EU often says that it is very polite, and if they are really polite, they will not make similar moves at all." ”
