Hold onto your charging cables, folks! ⚡ The European Union’s decision to impose heavy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) has sparked a high-voltage trade clash—and both sides could get burned, warns China’s top trade promoter.
Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), called the EU’s move a “clear violation” of World Trade Organization rules. 💼🌐 “These tariffs hurt Chinese businesses and the EU’s own economy,” he said, likening the situation to “shooting yourself in the foot while trying to win a marathon.” 🏃♂️💥
