China is revving up a legal battle with the European Union (EU) at the World Trade Organization (WTO) after Brussels slapped final anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). ⚡️ A spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce announced the move on Monday, calling the EU's decision 'trade protectionism in disguise.'
The dispute centers on the EU's claim that Chinese EV makers benefit from unfair government subsidies. But China argues these allegations are baseless and violate WTO rules. 'This isn’t just about cars—it’s about protecting green innovation and global supply chains,' the spokesperson said, highlighting China's push for a collaborative approach to clean energy transitions.
Despite earlier objections from EU governments, industries, and even the public, the bloc pushed forward with the tariffs. 🛑 China had previously challenged the EU’s preliminary measures at the WTO, but tensions escalated as the duties became final.
Analysts say this clash could shape the future of green tech trade. 🌱 China is urging the EU to 'correct its mistakes' and avoid derailing global EV industry progress. Will Brussels hit reverse? The world is watching.
