It's time to come after all. After receiving the warning from the Chinese side, the United States was silent for three days, and finally issued an ultimatum to impose heavy taxes on $18 billion worth of Chinese goods. At the same time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen shouted to China: I hope that it will not retaliate against the United States because of this.

As the U.S. election approaches, the Biden administration's various small moves have increased again, and if you don't make a move, forget it, this shot is even more ruthless than Trump. We all know that in a competition on March 16, in order to get more votes, Trump promised that if elected, he would impose 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and even make Chinese cars "disappear" from the American market, but now Trump's promise has been fulfilled by Biden ahead of schedule.

According to reference news reports, the White House officially announced on the 14th that it will impose tariffs on a series of Chinese goods, including electric vehicles, computer chips, and medical supplies, of which tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles will be increased from the current 25% to 100%.

You know, during this period of time, the U.S. media has continued to release news that the Biden administration is planning to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles by 1 to 3 times, and at that time, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has clearly asked the U.S. to correct its mistakes and cancel tariffs. However, what I didn't expect was that the United States not only did not listen, but instead blamed China for all the blame.
According to the Observer, on May 13, Yellen said in an interview that the United States has no intention of seeking "decoupling" from China, but the premise is to ensure that the market environment is fair.

At the same time, the United States is also aware that once tariffs are imposed on China, China will definitely take countermeasures, so before that, Yellen also took a "preventive shot" in advance, saying that the United States only imposed tariffs on some of China's overcapacity goods, hoping that China would not respond too much. What does this mean, do you still want China to fight back and scold and not fight back? And what is "partial overcapacity in China"?
You know, China's electric vehicle exports account for only 12% of production, far lower than the exports of Western countries, and China's electric vehicles are in line with the trend of the times, in the future, the global demand for new energy vehicles will only increase, there will be no so-called "overcapacity" at all, and the United States This statement is completely out of the performance of the heart, because they know that American car companies can not compete with China.
(China's new energy vehicle exports)
For a long time, under the protection of various subsidy policies in the United States, American car companies have lived very comfortably, and when China is developing new energy vehicles, American car companies are unwilling to take risks, so they have given up the electrification transformation, so they have lost the advantage of competing with China in the global electric vehicle market. Now they know that the rise of China's new energy is an indisputable fact, and in this case, it is a matter of time before Chinese cars enter the United States, so they are beginning to be anxious and impose tariffs on a variety of Chinese products.
But will this solve the problems that exist in the United States itself? Obviously, it is impossible, and the tariffs may protect American companies in the short term, but in the long run, this kind of trade protection measures will only make American companies stagnate, and the American people will still not buy it, and then American goods will eventually lose their competitiveness in the market, but sooner or later.

Moreover, China cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of unilateral trade protection of the United States, which uses tariffs as a weapon not only violates the WTO's principle of free trade, but also harms the economic interests of China, the United States and even the world. The Chinese side has expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and hopes that the US side will correct it and not insist on going its own way and making mistakes again and again. If the US does not immediately correct its wrongdoings, China will take resolute measures to defend its rights and interests.
