Europe may slap retroactive tariffs on Chinese EVs
electrek.co
Europe says it has found evidence that China has been “unfairly” subsidizing its EV exports to Europe. Possible “remedies” include retroactive tariffs.

The European Commission says China hasn’t been playing fair in that its government has been paying subsidies through “direct transfer of funds,” among other actions, reports Reuters – which the EC says tips the balance in China’s favor and leaves European automakers out to dry.

Back in October 2023, Europe launched its formal investigation into the Chinese EV industry, as European companies are struggling to compete with the cheap, high-tech Chinese imports, made by low-cost labor, entering the European Union.

    For instance the number in your source says 15-55 million, not 55 million.

    Your statement is incorrect. I will quote for you.

    Death toll in millions: 55

    Researcher: Yu Xiguang (余习广)

    Yu is an independent Chinese historian and a former instructor at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party, estimated that 55 million people died due to the famine. His conclusion was based on two decades of archival research.

    Facts not feelings, to paraphrase a broken clock.

    There is so much irony in this sentence, that if it were edible, could feed the people Mao killed and then some.

    Much of the rest of your response jumps back and forth between ad hominem, whataboutism, non sequitur, false equivalence and condescension to such an extent that it does not warrant a reply.
