China Boosts Global EV Expansion, Seeks to Counter Trade Restrictions

In a coordinated effort, China aims to fortify its electric vehicle industry against international trade barriers and enhance overseas cooperation.

China outlines a comprehensive plan to support its electric vehicle (EV) industry amid growing international trade restrictions.
The strategy includes establishing R&D and after-sales service centers abroad, and fostering collaboration with foreign partners.
Beijing's move comes as Chinese EV exports face probes and potential sanctions in Europe and the U.S., threatening the sector's global growth.
China surpassed Japan as the world's top car exporter in 2023, with EVs playing a significant role in this achievement.
The government's measures aim to safeguard exports, promote standardization, and ensure the EV sector's continued expansion.
