Germany’s vice chancellor has urged the European Union to impose tariffs on Chinese-made hybrid electric vehicles, arguing that they pose a threat to European automakers and jobs. The push comes amid growing concerns over China’s expanding influence in the global automotive market, particularly as Chinese manufacturers increase production of affordable electric and hybrid models. Officials highlight unfair subsidies and state support in China as key factors driving the competitive advantage of these vehicles. The proposal signals a potential escalation in trade tensions between Europe and China over industrial policy and market access.
