When they couldn't beat Huawei, they cut off the supply of Huawei chips; When they can't beat DJI, they want to sanction DJI; WHEN PUBLIC OPINION CAN'T BEAT TIKTOK, THEY HAVE TO BUY AND SELL! In the game between heavyweight economies, the historically dominant side is suppressing competitors without a lower limit. Now, it's finally the turn of China's new energy vehicle industry!

On May 14, when BYD's new energy pickup truck "Shark" was launched in Mexico, the largest economy announced that the tariff on China's new energy vehicles would be increased from 25% to 100%. The purpose is clearly to prevent or delay the entry of China's new energy vehicles into its market, and the essence of the need to establish a "democratized and gentrified car market" is that they feel powerless under the pressure of industrial competition.

At present, the EU has held many rounds of discussions on the issue of China's new energy vehicles, and their view is not in favor of sanctions on China's new energy vehicles, which is not only not in line with the law of the development of the automobile industry, but also does not meet the interests of all parties. Among them, Germany, as a major automobile country, also clearly opposes the implementation of sanctions, and they prefer orderly and healthy competition. At present, Chinese electric vehicles occupy 10% of the electric vehicle market in Europe.

In contrast, Europe's rationality contrasts sharply with the madness of the first largest economy. The root cause of this is that Wall Street's largest economy has always stood on the commanding heights of making quick money, and its so-called advantage has also drained its domestic manufacturing industry. However, now that the influence of the dollar in the world is declining, and the routine of using financial means to harvest the world and force competitors to comply, they simply stop pretending to be gentlemen.

Although they are trying to bring manufacturing back, including chip manufacturing, core industrial processing and other industries, they ignore the fact that China is still the world's most stable and complete manufacturing power, with the most comprehensive industrial chain support.

Why did Musk make the Gigafactory in Shanghai his most important production base in the world? Why is the production efficiency of the U.S. and European sites far less efficient than the Shanghai plant? The reason is self-explanatory. In addition to BYD, Geely's Lotus and Zeekr have completed their U.S. listings, and capital is also getting rid of the shackles of so-called "values" and is running towards investment value.

IN FACT, THE DEBATE ABOUT CHINA'S NEW ENERGY VEHICLES HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME, AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEMENTED REMARKS THAT HAVE BEEN DELIBERATELY RELEASED, SUCH AS CHINESE NEW ENERGY VEHICLES WILL COLLECT DATA AND TRANSMIT IT BACK TO CHINA, JUST LIKE TIKTOK LINKING TO WIFI WILL CAUSE PRIVACY SECURITY. In previous rounds of communication, the biggest concern from the large economy was the so-called overcapacity. The speed of China's new energy vehicle development is astonishing, and in a beautiful country where the manufacturing industry is hollowed out, this means danger, because they cannot participate in such industrial competition.
To this end, their professional agency specially found a BYD Seagull to disassemble it, just like the Japanese professional team dismantled the BYD seal back then, and conducted a detailed study, while the Associated Press reported that they came to the conclusion that if such a "cheap electric car" is produced in its local industrial chain, its cost will be three times that of BYD.

"The rapid emergence of low-cost electric vehicles from China could shake the global auto industry in a way not seen since the outbreak of Japanese automakers during the oil crisis in the 70s of the 20th century," the report added. Made in China, which stands for 'Building Dreams', could be a nightmare for the U.S. auto industry. ”

Epilogue:
Terry Woychowski, president of General Motors and former chief engineer of large pickup trucks, said the U.S. auto industry has lagged China for years in designing low-cost electric vehicles. It is not difficult to see that based on the anxiety of the core competence of the local manufacturing industry, China's new energy vehicles will be given special care by the world's largest economy. And an American auto media person living in China said that the green industry should not be suppressed by the dark, and they are cowards to do so.
