The European Union is considering imposing safeguard tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles after Beijing rejected EU demands to cap exports of hybrid cars. The move comes amid growing concerns over a surge in Chinese EV imports flooding European markets, raising fears of unfair competition and potential job losses in the local automotive industry. With negotiations stalled, Brussels is exploring trade measures to protect its domestic manufacturers while maintaining diplomatic pressure on China. The dispute highlights deeper tensions over industrial policy and green technology standards between the two economic blocs.
