On September 18th, reports emerged that Volkswagen Group had recently unveiled a compact electric vehicle priced at €20,000. At the 2025 Munich Motor Show, prominent EU automakers including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault also showcased their latest energy strategies and concept cars. Despite these advancements, the EU continues to impose anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. In reaction to this, a spokesperson from the Ministry of Commerce emphasized that the EU cannot simultaneously champion the cause of climate change while resorting to protectionist policies. The EU has unjustly accused Chinese automakers of receiving 'subsidies' merely because of the high cost-effectiveness of Chinese electric vehicles and has misused anti-subsidy measures. This, in essence, erects market barriers and disrupts free competition. Facts have demonstrated that protectionism cannot stifle market dynamics and the rational decisions of consumers. Cooperation is the correct approach. China welcomes EU products into its market and advocates for collaboration in the electric vehicle sector. China hopes that the EU will refrain from using tariffs as a weapon, dismantle market barriers, foster fair competition, and jointly establish a fair, non-discriminatory, and predictable market environment conducive to the industry's development.
