China urges EU to reconsider tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

Beijing, Jun 13 (EFE/EPA).- China urged the European Union on Thursday to reconsider tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and to stop going further in what they say is the 'wrong direction' to protect its auto industry from competition, according to China's state news agency Xinhua.

China said it would take measures to safeguard its interests after the European Commission announced on 12 June it would impose extra duties of up to 38.1 percent on imported Chinese electric vehicles from July 2024. (Camera: WU HAO).
