On the evening of May 14, Beijing time, the United States announced additional tariffs. The long-rumored escalation of the trade war has finally landed. This time, the U.S. mainly targets China's exports of new energy vehicles and rechargeable batteries.
However, it is said that China's electric vehicles exported to the United States last year were close to 10,000 units, and the impact on the total export value does not seem to be high. And as far as batteries are concerned, the United States is definitely still dependent on China. There is also a category of products, and Chinese photovoltaics have little export to the United States. The former editor-in-chief Hu Internet celebrity proudly said that this tariff hike does not pose a threat to China at all. China's key core technologies and electric vehicle production capacity are already world-leading. But China's NEV exports to the U.S. are almost zero.
In fact, the U.S. market is not suitable for the operation of new energy vehicles at all, and it is said that there are only tens of thousands of charging piles in the United States. In fact, what the experts said is also plausible, and the huge Chinese manufacturing industry is something that the United States simply cannot impose effective sanctions. The risks posed by U.S. sanctions on China are rising.
