  • It’s an interesting problem.

    Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can’t afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

    Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just not really manage this situation well?

    My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.
