The Chinese Minister of Commerce<\/strong>, Wang Wentao<\/strong>, will travel to Europe<\/strong> soon to discuss the tariffs<\/strong> imposed by the European Union<\/strong> on electric vehicles<\/strong> from this country after the investigation carried out on account of Beijing’s subsidies<\/strong> to its industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the EFE news agency<\/strong>, portfolio spokesman He Yongqian<\/strong> told a press conference that Wang<\/strong> will meet with Valdis Dombrovskis<\/strong>, Executive Vice President of the European Commission<\/strong> and Trade Commissioner<\/strong>, to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInformation about the visit and the progress of the negotiations will be released in due course,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain’s Position<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The announcement of Wang’s trip<\/strong> comes on the heels of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s<\/strong> visit to China<\/strong>, where one of the central issues was the trade tension<\/strong> between Beijing<\/strong> and Brussels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sanchez<\/strong> called on the European Union<\/strong> to reconsider its position, stressing that \u201cthere is no need for a trade war<\/strong>\u201d and advocated finding a \u201cmiddle ground<\/strong>\u201d between the EU<\/strong> and China<\/strong> to resolve frictions.
For her part, China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman<\/strong>, Mao Ning<\/strong>, appreciated the pronouncement of the head of the Spanish government<\/strong> and urged the EU<\/strong> to engage in dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, she asked Brussels<\/strong> to be \u201cflexible<\/strong>\u201d and \u201csincere<\/strong>\u201d, and to work with Beijing<\/strong> to find \u201ca middle ground<\/strong>\u201d, addressing economic frictions<\/strong> \u201cthrough dialogue and consultation<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China<\/strong> is demanding that the EU bloc<\/strong> back down and has raised trade pressure<\/strong> to avoid tariffs<\/strong> that Brussels<\/strong> has justified by the state subsidies<\/strong> received by Chinese vehicle manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last July<\/strong>, the European Commission<\/strong> proposed maximum tariffs of 37.6%<\/strong> on Chinese electric vehicles<\/strong>, but later adjusted them to 36.3%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese companies such as SAIC<\/strong>, BYD<\/strong> and Geely<\/strong> will be the main ones affected, with specific tariffs<\/strong> for each according to their level of cooperation in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the Brussels tariffs<\/strong>, Beijing<\/strong> opened an investigation into European pork<\/strong> that could particularly affect Spain<\/strong>, given that it is the main exporter of pork to China<\/strong> among all EU countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
