The European Commission has greenlit hefty additional tariffs on Chinese electric cars, raising concerns about trade tensions, primarily opposed by Germany and Hungary.
Despite the opposition from Germany and Hungary, the majority of EU member states supported imposing new tariffs, claiming they protect local automotive jobs against unfair competition.
The tariffs aim to respond to China's state subsidies for its auto manufacturers, which the EU claims threaten the competitiveness of European carmakers.
China criticized the tariffs as 'protectionist' and warned that these measures might lead to an international trade war, further complicating EU-China relations.
