Britain and the United States are preparing to conduct countervailing investigation or national security risk investigation on electric vehicles in China.
On March 22nd, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter asked that China’s electric vehicles have encountered headwinds recently. Not long ago, the European Union issued a notice to register electric vehicles imported from China, and retrospective tariffs may be imposed on related vehicles in the future. The United Kingdom and the United States are preparing to conduct countervailing investigation or national security risk investigation on electric vehicles in China. US Treasury Secretary Yellen also said that the government is taking measures to ensure the success of the domestic electric vehicle industry. What is the spokesman’s comment on this? In this regard, Lin Jian, a spokesman, said that electric vehicles are a global industry. Only division of labor and cooperation can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Only fair competition can lead to technological progress. In the name of fair competition and "national security", protectionist trade barriers violate the principles of market economy and WTO rules. In the short term, they seem to be cheap, but they protect backwardness and lose the future. In the long run, they will only harm the interests of domestic industries and consumers, and affect the green transformation of the global economy and the ability to cope with climate change. It is hoped that relevant parties will seriously listen to the rational voice of the industry, earnestly abide by the rules of the WTO, respect the laws of the market economy, stop politicizing, securing and ideologizing economic and trade issues, and provide an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for enterprises from all over the world, including China enterprises.
