"Who said that new energy vehicles are a product of peace?" The Germans laughed when the United States announced 100% punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. What exactly is this? Let's lift the veil and see what's going on behind the scenes.
As the old saying goes, "It's your nature to do business and work for yourself."
No, the initiator "Uncle America" has come to make trouble again. This time, the target is amazing, directly swept at China's electric vehicles, and the tariff was increased to 100%. It seems that some people are in a hurry, thinking that their Tesla is not making money fast enough, and wants to kick them out of the US market as soon as possible in the future, so as to monopolize this emerging fat pie.
However, Scholz and Christersson are not stupid. The latter two will understand at a glance that this is a typical "fox fake tiger might"! The shyness of the Americans is just to protect the calf Tesla. It's a bit ridiculous that it's hard to protect yourself in China, and you still want to dominate the overseas market, and your dream is really not small.
So, the German Chancellor and the Swedish Chancellor went back without thinking.
Although they didn't say much, the straightforward refutation of "we unanimously agreed that the tariffs were a bad idea" had already debunked the Americans' cautious thinking.
Don't look at Germany and Sweden on the surface just from the perspective of trade freedom, in fact, their subtext is self-evident - electric vehicles, we are also shareholders, this is not a trivial matter. German bigwigs BMW, Volkswagen, and Nordic manufacturers such as Volvo have long broken out of a new blue ocean in China and have made a lot of money.
No, some experts have analyzed and predicted that China is expected to become the world's largest electric vehicle market in 2030, and the potential is difficult to estimate. Even if the United States imposes 1,000 percent punitive tariffs, it may be difficult to prevent German and Swedish car companies from salivating over this cake.
Not to mention that there are new armies such as Weilai, Xiaopeng, and Ideal that are blooming all over China, ready to "go to sea" to the world at any time and compete with foreign brands in the international market. It is no exaggeration to say that across the world, the center of the car-making industry is slowly but profoundly shifting, from Detroit and Munich a hundred years ago to China. This is not good news.
I heard that the Americans also recently planned to impose punitive tariffs on imported solar panels.
Why are you so fond of "punitive tariffs"? Be careful to punish the sun, and you won't be able to bask in the sun. Then again, no matter what the Americans think, in the long run, the Germans and Swedes can see through the prospects of electric vehicles in China.
In the wave of the global electric vehicle revolution, this former "Made in China" is transforming towards a new era of "intelligent car manufacturing". In contrast, the U.S. government and car companies have gradually shown a decline that they are unable to handle.
Excuse me, in the face of the strong rise of electric vehicles in China, how will the Americans make a move?
So in the end, I would like to ask: when you see that China's electric vehicles are speeding towards the global market, will you also be like Scholz and Christen, secretly laughing, what do you think about this?
