The European Union has announced the implementation of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to protect its domestic market from cheap imports. This move follows an investigation into China's state subsidies for its EV manufacturers, which the EU claims give Chinese automakers an unfair advantage by allowing them to sell cars in Europe at prices lower than production costs.

The tariffs, which could range from 10-20 percent, aim to level the playing field for European carmakers facing stiff competition from their Chinese counterparts. Chinese manufacturers, such as BYD and Nio, have been rapidly expanding in the European market, offering competitively priced electric cars and threatening the market share of established European brands.

Chinese officials have strongly criticized the EU’s decision, calling it a form of trade protectionism that will disrupt global supply chains and harm international trade relations. They argue that blocking imports undermines the principles of free trade and warn of potential retaliatory measures.
