China Challenges EU's EV Tariffs at WTO Amid Escalating Trade Tensions

The dispute over tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles highlights broader trade conflicts between China and the European Union.

China has filed a formal complaint with the World Trade Organization against the EU's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, which range from 8% to 45.3%.
The EU imposed these tariffs following an investigation into alleged unfair subsidies for Chinese EV manufacturers, sparking significant trade tensions.
China argues that the EU's tariffs are protectionist and violate WTO rules, while the EU insists they are necessary to maintain fair competition.
Both sides have engaged in retaliatory measures, with China investigating EU exports like pork and dairy, and the EU rejecting China's proposal for minimum import prices.
Diplomatic efforts continue, with China urging France to mediate, as both parties seek a resolution to avoid further escalation.
