EU taxes the shit out of Chinese electric cars to protect the automotive industry that failed to innovate here. In fact they've only been adding more and more taxes and fees on anything that's imported, usually putting the costs on regular people.
Hopefully since the EU high density desktop/server RAM industry is pretty much nonexistent (as far as I know), they won't tax it to hell.
China RAM vs US RAM, they are both not EU "allies" now so there should be little reason.
There is more commercial proximity between China and the EU than China and the US.
The current taxation run is to curtail the online markets like AliExpress, Shein and Temu to flood the market with garbage. Shein got hit with their dumping practices very hard.
Taxing the import of vehicles, when an industry already exists just makes sense. European automakers were sleeping on their job, granted, but the other option is to let them fail and surrender another industry to non-EU territories.
Indeed. Its a complex topic, but import taxes aren’t a (likely) complete corrupt cheeto emabrgo lockdown.
China is in fact competing via something usually considered illegal in international trade: Production subsidies meant to enable their companies to sell products for under manufacturing cost so they can kill off all competition. Yes, all auto manufacturers have had help from their national govenrments, but Mercedes doesn't get paid by Germany to build more cars to sell in China. We do EV subsidies on the purchase side in Europe, so it's manufacturer-agnostic.
We regularly tariff things that other countries subsidize the production of. China does it as well. And China's had tariffs for foreign cars for decades.
Chinese companies like BYD have also been trying to kick off manufacturing in Europe, but unfortunately even in Hungary it's a bit harder to get away with slavery than in China. Hopefully they'll find a way around watchful eyes so we can get cheaper Chinese EVs in Europe too.
Maybe Germany should try that a bit, but with the condition that the wonderful AUTOSAR is killed.
