America did!
After the unreasonable demands were not met, the United States suddenly began to impose high tariffs on new energy vehicles, batteries and other products of the eastern powers. This trick of lifting the table when it was impossible to do so once again exposed the arrogance of the United States to the world.
However, this is another stupid move after the United States messed up its fight, because after this fist fight, it will not hurt the eastern powers, but will make the United States more passive.
Because the new energy vehicles exported by the eastern powers to the United States last year accounted for only about 1% of China's exports, this 1% market is dispensable for China, but it has suffered American car companies such as Tesla and Ford.
Tesla and Ford have blocked their way to import batteries and supporting facilities from China in the future. The loss of the irreplaceable industrial chain of Chinese new energy vehicles is tantamount to declaring the death penalty of American new energy vehicles, forcing American car companies such as Tesla and Ford to completely leave the United States.
The United States knows that this will not achieve its goal, but also insists on suddenly increasing tariffs on China to start a trade war again. In fact, the United States has a small idea, that is, to prevent some European giants from investing in China, and that is to hope that Europe and other Western allies will act together to launch a war against China's new energy vehicles, So as to pull China's new energy vehicles and batteries and other leading American industries down from Malaysia.
It can be said that the old Biden's skill was really cruel, and the abacus beads flew to his face!
However, to Biden's surprise, when the United States took the lead in raising the big stick of sanctions and tax increases and waited for the allies behind to act together, he turned around and found that not only the EU did not follow him, but even a small partner who followed him.
Not only did no country come forward to follow the United States' action of increasing tariffs, but at the same time, the important allies of the United States in Europe began to come forward to collectively oppose the United States policy.
Although old Biden constantly instigated Von Delain to carry out the investigation of Chinese new energy vehicles within the EU, he even followed the steps of the United States to increase tariffs on Chinese new energy vehicles, and tried to kill the pace of Chinese new energy vehicles going to sea with the joint efforts of the United States and Europe.
However, what the United States did not expect was that Europe, which had been obedient to the United States before, also began to take a clear stand against the United States this time.
First of all, Germany, a former American follower, held high the banner of opposition and was the first to oppose the EU's tariff increase. Although China's automobile exports to Europe accounted for 50% of the total, Europe felt strong pressure. EU President Von Delain also mentioned repeatedly that it would not rule out launching an investigation on China's new energy vehicles. However, unlike the sunset of American cars in the Chinese market, the Chinese market is very important for German cars. Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi and other luxury car brands all look to the Chinese market for food.
If the EU suddenly increases tariffs on Chinese new energy vehicles like the United States, then China will inevitably launch a counterattack war. For German cars, which have already lost sales, it is no doubt a disaster. Now, life in Germany is not easy. If China is lost, Schultz can step down.
Therefore, when the United States took the lead in launching a war to increase tariffs on China's new energy vehicles, Germany was the first to raise the banner of opposition!
In addition to Germany, the French pony took the lead and immediately opposed to increasing tariffs on Chinese cars and batteries. Although French automobile has basically withdrawn from the Chinese automobile market, don't forget that today's little brother Ma has to rely on China to revive his dream of being the first brother in Europe. In addition, such a large Airbus order is in the hands of China, so France also stands up and loudly opposes the EU's practice of following the United States and increasing tariffs on China.
Sweden's Prime Minister, Sweden's Prime Minister Christson, directly criticized the practice of increasing tariffs on China's new energy vehicles as stupid!
In the case that both Germany and France of the European Double Horse have expressed their opposition to the increase of tariffs on new energy vehicles in China, even if Von Delain can't jump up and down again, it will not promote the process of the EU to increase tariffs on new energy vehicles in China.
Because Von Drain's practice of safeguarding the interests of the United States is too explicit, European Union countries now recognize that Von Drain is the traitor sent by the United States to Europe. Among them, Hungary names Von Drain and angrily criticizes him as the agent of the United States. The German and French government officials have expressed their opposition to Von Drain's re-election as EU president, So Von Delain, who is seeking re-election, doesn't dare to look too ugly at this time.
In addition, even the old lady Merkel, the former German Chancellor, started to stand up and compete with Von der for the EU presidency. It can be seen that Europe has become sober after being repeatedly suppressed by the US and betrayed by Von der Ryan! My heart said, Brother Mei, we won't stop you if you want to die, but don't drag us to jump into the pit with you. Stay cool.
In the case of the collective refusal of the European partners, the United States waged a desperate war on the automobile trade, which was over before it started!
