Preface:
With the increasingly serious problem of global warming, countries have begun to implement green environmental protection policies, among them, electric vehicles as a representative of green travel, gradually received more and more countries and regions attention and support, however, just when everyone thought that electric vehicles would become more and more popular in the international market, the European Union suddenly imposed temporary tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, which immediately attracted widespread attention and heated discussions around the world.
1. The EU imposes temporary tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
Since July 5, the European Union officially imposed temporary tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, which immediately caused strong dissatisfaction and widespread heated discussions among netizens at home and abroad.
For example, United States has imposed high tariffs on electric vehicles and parts imported from China, and the United States government has also called this measure a "global protection measure", the purpose is to "protect" the United States automotive industry, however, this move has made EU netizens say that tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles are not beneficial to the EU, because, in this way, EU consumers can only buy high-priced electric vehicles, and, they think, The reason why the EU imposed tariffs on China's electric vehicles is that there must be United States "pushing" and "instigating" in it, so the EU will be so "obedient" and "cooperative".
Second, the EU treats Chinese electric vehicles differently from Tesla.
Interestingly, after the EU imposed tariffs on China's electric vehicles, some netizens began to dig out some previous information, for example, in the European Cup, the Chinese brand BYD became the main sponsor of the European Cup, and this initiative has also been strongly supported and "encouraged" by the European Union, however, shortly after BYD became a sponsor of the European Cup, the European Union imposed tariffs on BYD's electric vehicles.
Moreover, the additional countervailing duty was imposed, which immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among EU netizens, who believed that the EU did this, in fact, it was "double standard", and the EU's approach also made them see the EU's "intentions", they believe that the EU is actually "protecting" the United States Tesla, because, although Tesla is also an electric car produced in China, the EU did not impose tariffs on Tesla, on the contrary, they also "comforted" Tesla and said, Tesla may get a separately calculated tax rate at the final stage.
However, Tesla's response is very clear, they said that as long as the EU raises taxes on them, they will not hesitate to raise prices, and the EU's approach also allows them to see the EU's "intentions", they believe that the EU is actually "protecting" Tesla in the United States, because, although Tesla is also an electric car produced in China, however, the EU did not impose tariffs on Tesla, on the contrary, they also "comforted" Tesla that Tesla may get a separately calculated tax rate in the final stage, However, Tesla's response was clear, saying that they would not hesitate to raise prices as long as the EU raised taxes on them.
Epilogue:
In any case, the EU's move to impose tariffs on China's electric vehicles has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions around the world, and this initiative has also allowed netizens around the world to see some of the EU's "behaviors" and "intentions", they believe that the EU is actually "protecting" Tesla's United States, and the EU's move also violates the "trade freedom" and "green environmental protection" principles they have been flaunting.
Therefore, they called on the EU to "pull back from the precipice", not to be swayed by the "instructions" of the United States, but to really make practical contributions to green travel and global environmental protection, should be "cautious" to deal with this issue, and they also said that if the EU finally imposes tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, they will definitely take corresponding countermeasures, and at that time, only the EU and United States automakers will be hurt.
