EU urged to seek 'win-win' tariff position

China Daily  

By WANG YU and ZHONG NAN | China Daily | Updated: 2024-12-31 09:25 A SAIC model is driven into a cargo ship headed to Europe. The European Union should adopt a mutually beneficial approach to resolve the trade issue over its anti-subsidy case with Chinese electric vehicles, as such an approach aligns with the bloc's interests, said Wei Jianguo, China's former vice-minister of commerce. Wei said that the EU's tariff imposition approach toward Chinese EVs has tarnished the body's image — particularly its reputation for promoting trade and investment facilitation as well as liberalization — and ultimately harms European consumers. Zhang Xiang, an auto industry researcher at Beijing-based North China University of Technology, said that the growth of China's new energy industry, including EVs, solar and wind power, is closely tied to the expected surge in demand, and the country has also fostered a favorable environment for foreign firms. China's trade with the EU grew by 1.3 percent year-on-year to 5.09 trillion yuan during the January-November period, accounting for 12.8 percent of the country's total foreign trade value, said the General Administration of Customs.
