The United States impose 100%tariffs on Chinese cars, the EU impose 25%tariffs on Chinese cars, and Turkey impose 40%tariffs on Chinese cars. Before the Chinese cars go out, they are already Chu.
In the past two years, the Chinese automobile industry has risen strongly. In 2023, automobile exports to the world are the number one. Today, European and American countries have brought out tariff weapons to resist the strong impact of China’s automobile industry in the automotive industry.
So can this method work? How should China’s automobile industry break through? Let me talk about my opinion.
First of all, most of the developed countries in Europe and the United States have developed tariffs on cars from China from the perspective of protecting their own industries. But the result of policy protection, like the flowers in the greenhouse, cannot stand the destruction of the wind and rain.
The Chinese automobile industry is already part of the global automotive industry. Domestic Volvo and Tesla are exported to the world. In 2023, 340,000 Tesla exported to China, most of them exported to Europe. Therefore, European and American countries have raised tariffs on Chinese cars, and they have also moved their feet.
Second, in the short term, high tariffs reduced the price advantage of Chinese cars, and car exports were blocked. However, new energy, environmental protection, and carbon neutrality are the common goals of all mankind. In China, China has the most patented new energy vehicle patent technology in the world, the most complete supply chain system, and the largest market size. It is inseparable from European and American countries, and it cannot be blocked by tariffs. Therefore, win -win cooperation is a matter of time.
Third, how does China’s automobile industry break through? Different countries have different strategies. For friendly countries along the Belt and Road, we helped them build high -speed rail, repair high -speed, and high -speed rail needed power grids. The export of new energy vehicles to these countries is logical.
For European and American countries, many methods can be adopted, and many brands are also exploring. For example, zero -run selection to jointly jointly build a factory in Italy to achieve local production.
After Weilai entered Europe, it was sold to users by automobile subscription to leasing, not directly selling. Reduce the cost of car use.
Volvo is now a Geely brand. It plans to put production back to Europe and export from Europe to the United States.
MG is an international brand held by Chinese people. Europe has R & D, production, and sales channels. It has been integrated into the local area and has the ability to resist risks.
There are also some developed countries, such as South Korea and Australia’s open attitude towards Chinese cars. So Geely and BYD plan to enter South Korea. Geely also intends to produce in South Korea and export the United States.
Fourth, in the face of European and American countries’ tariffs on Chinese cars, we can also take countermeasures. It is understood that China has begun to consider imposing a 25%tariff on cars imported from the United States and the European Union. Most of the cars exported in China are cheap models. Most of the cars imported in China are high -end models. These European and American luxury brands will be more difficult in China in the future.
Fifth, from the moment, the scale of Chinese brands are not risky. The highest risk is still many new forces companies. Their product positioning is high -end, no scale, no profit, and the domestic market is serious. European and American countries are regions with strong consumption capacity of high -end automobiles. The increase in tariffs is worsened to the overseas and development of high -end new forces.
