No. Free market only for free countries. America will not give its money to support communism.
Nothing free about the Chinese market. NATO finally waking up. 👍👍👍👍👍

Lol little pink, wumao or just not very smart. Non-financial debt to gdp ratio running at nearly 300% and CCP still throwing over-generous subsidies at their ev companies. Don’t forget Xi’s personal stake in “green” tech. Also overcapacity if 5-10 mil vehicles a year just lying around…how’s that green? It’s desperate, exports is all they’ve got to keep their economy going. US/Europe don’t have to put up with that. I’m not even gonna go into the quality issues…boom!
US was never pro-capitalism!
China BANS U.S cars, comrade.
Criminals
They are when it benefits them. But if it poses a threeat to them, then it's another story.
They are imperialism
Yea, the Chinese government subsidizes it car industry that not "Capitalism".
US made cars still very expensive with 100% tariff. Poor US consumers.
Sorry, but Chinese cars are socialist.. Why because it pays the it car manufacture to make cars.
😄yeah baby , lets get those trade wars kicking , china should block tesla , EVs are a scam anyways😄
Chinese cars whether gas, diesel or EV, aren't even sold here in the US. So I don't understand why the world is talking about the US putting a 100% Tariff.
Unless the US is going to allow Chinese made EV like BYD to sell here, but they have to have a 100% tax on the dealership that would inventory them here.
There was never an overcapacity issue when the time western and Japanese cars flooded into Chinese market.
😄yeah baby , lets get those trade wars kicking , china should block tesla , EVs are a scam anyways😄
Cause there were NO Chinese cars back then and China had no choice, if they wanted to drive any car at all. 😆😆😆😆😆 Even today everyone wants German, European, Japanese and South Korean cars.
Overcapacity is when there's more supply than demand. China had a huge demand for cars due to the economic boom since the 90s. Further, there were no Chinese in-house knowledge of car manufacturing either. Also, Western and Japanese car makers are not controlled by their governments, so how the hell would they flood the market - overcapacity requires a big wallet from the government.
@Just_another_Euro_dude
No at least not in china. BYD sales are more than VW +Toyota
@@Djursnerable western and japanese car makers are not controlled by their governments? maybe that's because they control the government. the government tariffs by US and Europe governments into Chinese EVs is clearly to benefit and protect these car makers.
because they cant compete wirh china thats why
Exactly , ask anyone if they will work for a doll. /H in US?
Is that why China is constantly conducting corporate espionage to steal IPO such jet engines from GE or even trade secrets from Coca Cola? Right.
@@786otto China's edge is not on cheap labour anymore. Most Cars are built by robots these days. They made the entire EV including batteries and everything else. That's why they can keep the cost so low.
@@LCCATCX Yep, the number of Industrial robots installed in China over the past 3 years is staggering. It's like more than all the other nations combined! This on top of the supply chain and infrastructure China will put them so much ahead.
@LCCATCX Yes that is truth, but labor is also dirt cheap. Thanks for reply.
Tarifs is another Word for Taxes. Americans Pay the Taxes. Not the Chinese.
The point is, it limits Chinese evs entry into the US market.
Only if u buy Chinese goods

American protectionism against free trade again
What country doesn’t have protectionism policies, free trade exist almost nowhere on earth. US allies and enemies have taken advantage of one sided trade for decades and china agreed to a phase 1 trade deal with Donald but I can’t find any evidence they’ve lived up to Their end we should have have these tariffs in places years ago.

Free market never existed, all developed nations used protectionism to develop their own industries, but they tell third world countries free market is the way when they do the opposite.
This is atrocious, I've never been so angry, such a backwards horrible policy. They turn off comments on other platforms because they know how outrageous this policy is. Why do Americans let this happen?
Calling US dellusional is an understatement😂

@@beaconlight4720so far 0 deaths now Tesla on the other hand 2,578 deaths
Sounds like a plan to me.
A few years ago, when Tesla wanna enter the Chinese market. China has a few options, one is to stop it by raising tariffs, and the second option is to ask it to form a new company with a 50 % share owned by a Chinese company. However, China goes with one that fully opens the market to Tesla, lets it own 100% share, and even subsidizes its running cost. Yes, many Chinese EV companies died after Tesla joined the game, but it does make the ones survive strong. Today, the US can easily put tariffs on Chinese EVs, however, it means the American EV makers won't improve. Later, the US will have to face a tougher decision of raising tariffs on the EU, Japan, and other friends.
To "Protect" the American Car Companies who have been cutting way back on their commitment to building EVs
The American automakers are Not Protected as they are losing market share to China in the rest of the world.
😄yeah baby , lets get those trade wars kicking , china should block tesla , EVs are a scam anyways😄
@@humbleindian6303 There is no trade war. Chinese Made cars aren't even sold in the US Market, so what does China care.
100% tariff on $0 is still $0. Basic math.
No sh***t

It buys votes
So why they scream so loud about Tariff? Make them scared and hate on one country that bailed them out in their 2008 Financial Crisis. What a douche!
Great! I now place an order for Xiaomi su7 car and have to wait in line to get the car next year, and overcapacity is all a lie of politicians. Americans don't grab quality cars from me
Well, good luck to ya.
America is years behind in innovation the irony
And its the average Amerca working class that suffers, buying expensive US made vehicals, no free capitalist competition allowed , The USA is looking more like Totalitarian Communist and China more like Capitalist, how ironic how things change

Your post is nonsense.
USA cannot dictate trade in world
It ain't. But it CAN dictate the trade on it's OWN market. Just like the EU. China can still enjoy trade with Russia, India, Africa, etc. With those weak markets that can't protect themselves from China. EU and USA will do their thing and protect their domestic markets.
Yes it can it's an Empire
@@Just_another_Euro_dude "Protect themselves from China". Dude. China has literally helped train workforces, build hospitals, build schools, and do so much more for Africa. And the debbt we owe to them is nothing compared to what we owe the west. The same applies to Russia and India. There's a reason why we disIike the US. Every time we partner with them, they steaI and find ways to land us in deebt. Now, more countries are realising these things.
US is the biggest Mafia globally.
Who said they can dictate.
Those countries that do not comply will be the meal on the table.
@@TD1237 Hmmm... No need for all that cheap propaganda. US aid gave God knows how many billions to Africa and Asia throughout the DECADES. Not years but decades. Europe built the biggest most modern or most famous historical cities in Africa. ENTIRE CITIES, like Johannesburg, Cape Town. Alexandria etc. China built few roads and rails? Europe built entire CITIES in Africa.
They still may be cheaper 😂
yeah. the byd seagull is 10,000$ USD globally. Even if they make it $20,000, it's cheaper than all EVs in the US. These cars are selling out like hotcakes in Asia and parts of Europe.
If so, tariff add to 1000%
@@hkbulldog5239 no matter what, UDs can not compete with china on any field.
they can just sell at a loss ( 5k per car) and put all the US automakers out of business
The US-Mexico trade is booming, and it makes the Americans so happy, that they forget to question where all those businesses or factories came from. They thought only the EVs were from China.
Chinese EV's are not even going into the US market.
Even if the US impose 200% tariff, it will not affect the
Chinese manufacturer, after all it's the American public
who's paying for the extra tariff for the sake of the US
government trying to protect the local manufacturers..
That's the logic, deprive the millions to satisfy the thousands.
Penny wise but pound foolish..

It then becomes an incentive for the US consumer to buy non-chinese vehicles. If the consumer buys no Chinese vehicle, they feel nothing and pay no tariff.
it's election year. anything to get more votes. later, loopholes can be used to undo.
@@abstractlizard9377 in the first place chinese ev wont even going to US lol

It is a pro-active move to protect thousands of American jobs, and a car industry which is vital to keep running (Hello Covid supply-chain issues?). Further, The US cannot allow China to control any vital markets given its unfair trade practices.

Yes and no. It makes the cheap Chinese cars more expensive or in line with domestic and other car brands. The Chinese government has been "footing" the bill to offer the cars at such a cheap price in order to improve its own economy and to take contol of the car market. That is neither free or fair trade practices.

China: overcapacity of tariff😅
the u.s. should support EV instead of banning them. what about climate change?
We all know they care nothing except money😂
LOL, what? US only cares about climate change if there is a profit in it. If they don't' make a profit, it won't even be show on the news.
Because they are cheaper and better than American cars , we all saw this coming..😅
The number one economy that can't compete
Why ? Because they are scared. They just cannot compete. But China has a 60M car a year outside of US and EU which is plenty.
According to Bloomberg Ford is losing $100K for every EV it sells, while there isn't even any Chinese EV in America. So how would the 100% tariffs going to save it? 🤔
Political theatre. A nothing burger
Stop lying. The reported amount is $40.525k (CNN). There are Chinese EVS in the US, and even more in the EU. It is a political message and proactive move before the American car industry is destroyed.
@@alanc457 Oh it's not nothing burger, the tariffs on batteries and chips combined with Americans not buying EVs means Biden just killed any prospect of US building any EVs

Perhaps China shall impose a 100% tariff on the main U.S. export of the $USD?
They dont export much to China. Mostly just beans and corn and Stopped buying low quality Boeing a while back.
Read my Lips. No more Taxes. But Tarifs.
He has NEVER said "No new taxes.", on the contrary.
Great information with excellent use of data/figures
This kind of irrational policy is self-destructive.....
BYD’s hybrid car has 1500mile range (81mpg) and is under $14000. Sooner or later, US car manufacturers will realize their products are irrelevant.
There goes the neighbourhood. Wrong move, wrong move.
China ev car sold in local market are cheap but they sell more than double the price overseas. So it's not dumping
Looks like Tesla will have to close its Shanghai plant as retaliation
They are expanding ..... that's why China wins again, again and again..
China is not like that. While Huawei is banned in the US, Apple continues to run its business freely in China.
They will export from Germany

@@80sidd Germany factory is a joke now
US doesn’t even buy that much of EV’s and it wouldn’t because US consumers still likes those Fast and Furious type of cars, US produces oil and gas, US doesn’t have sufficient charging stations nor does it have enough charging facilities at home. If the excuse is US is preparing for the future investment then companies need to invest huge amount and wait, if ever
very long time to get pay back. If Trump comes back he will just put brakes on green EV and invest in fracking. At the end I would advise China to let it go. Let US politicians do what it does.
Talking about fast...EV actually beat cars with conventional combustion engine when it comes to acceleration.
That was what China was doing...working on efficiency and mass production techniques. Then along came Janet Yellen warning China on "overcapacity", followed by Blinking sweet talking about nothing. He promised to work together with China, But the tariffs is anything but working together, it is filling up the moat with water, put crocodiles and sharks in it, and pilling up the drawbridge. The US is isolating itself by shutting out a serious competitor.
it's Precautionary punitive tariffs, or PTSD tariffs.
US is losing the competition
Watch imports via other countries increase like Mexico. What happened ro capitalism?
This could increase demand of hydrogen.
Who's idea was it to use charts with very slightly different shades of grey for each country? Feel like I'm taking an eye test.
because American are happy to pay for expensive inefficient American e-cars
Tariffs is paid by american consumer not by China. American are just paying more from tariffs. EU accounted for 36% of Chinese EV exports last year, more than the next five largest markets combined. By contrast, the United States currently receives just 1.1% of China's EV exports.
Tariffs are not paid by the consumer, it is paid by the importer. The importer then has to reflect that price on the car, which makes the Chinese cars more expensive or at the fair range of other car brands. If China does not play fair, the US has no option but to protect itself.
@@Djursnerable the importers have to reflect the tariffs price on the cars which is pay by american car buyers right? Lol
Removing fords competition as ford can’t sell any
The EU have been considering tariffs as well and by extension the UK will follow.
Nothing built in europe or the US will be cheap.
If they do put tariffs on in europe/UK bang goes any hope of ev's becoming mainstream.
No one used to complain about cheap Ladas and Skodas etc. back in the day.
The politicians don't get it the average working person doesn't have the money!!
Funny thing is lot of these cars are also manufactured in China or other countries with cheap labor
No more marketing for political campaigns, especially, voters are needed
Why is the UK obssessed with US?
Because US is the boss
Enjoy the inflation, guys.
Otherwise, EV market in the US will crash & consumers will buy EV at a cheap rate.
These tariffs will hurt American and European consumers. So much for free enterprise and competition.
That is fear what happen with the free market
The American technology media Electrek published an article on the 12th saying that it is ironic that China is often accused of "not doing enough" to deal with climate change, but now the United States says they are "doing too much" in electric vehicles and solar energy.
In 2020, Biden proposed during the campaign: abide by the commitment of the 2020 'The Paris Agreement' (Climate Change Agreement) and reduce carbon emissions.
In 2020, Biden proposed in the National Security Strategy that the U.S. auto industry should enter "Industry 4.0" in order to mass-produce electric vehicles.
In 2021, Biden emphasized that by 2030, the United States will achieve the goal of more than 50% of new cars being electric vehicles.
In 2021, Biden signed the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law", committing to provide US$7.5 billion in funding to build a nationwide electric vehicle charging network, and setting the goal of "building 500,000 public charging piles by 2030." However, as of today, only 4 states in the United States have built and put into operation a total of 7 public charging stations and a total of 38 charging piles.
In 2024, Biden calls for higher tariffs to boycott Chinese electric vehicles.
"We're very explicitly subsidizing investments in these important strategic areas. We don't want to see massive Chinese subsidies that will just drive our firms out of business."--US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen May 2024
Translation: We'll support US industries with subsidies because it's strategic, but when others do it, it's unfair competition.
Does the tariff apply to Tesla EVs made in China?
I am pretty sure it does.
Tesla's exit from china is inevitable
@@mawandaeed Not necessarily. They can supply the huge Chinese domestic market from its China factory and export from China to markets that don't have trade barriers on EVs manufactured in China. Tesla can serve the US/Canada market from Austin, Fremont and Nevada and the EU market from Berlin. That way Tesla has the tree biggest markets covered. They really should also have a factory in one of the RHD markets of the UK, Ireland, Japan, Australia, NZ, SA, India, Malta, Cyprus, Thailand, Indonesia, and various other southern and eastern Africa states outside SA. The obvious choice would be the UK, but somewhere in SE Asia would serve a greater number of nearby of markets. Perhaps Indonesia, India or Thailand could supply the required skilled educated workforce and the best labour price? But perhaps only the UK or Japan would have all the required suppliers? If Tesla can bear the labour costs of manufacturing in the US and Germany, then perhaps the UK or Japan labour costs are not an obstacle. Australia has a large domestic market and all the source materials, but they are lazy buggers who are only willing to dig the stuff up and export it. They lack the enterprise or initiative to process those raw materials into finished products themselves.
If someone is doing good is a bad thing, unless is the us who is doing good.
About time!
What about WTO rules?
3 EV battery plants are being built in Ontario, Canada.
That might be the case but the majority of the raw materials that go into EV batteries are sourced from China
@@kennyg-888 That might be changing as time goes on.
Is US saying the chinese cant setup assembly plant in Mexico?
I think it is better to set a quota for Chinese EV import than 100% tariff for every imported Chinese cars.
He was running out of breath by the end.
China is taking his breath 😊😊
😂 poor consumers
It is just the beginning. Big fight is coming.
The price of a Chinese electric vehicle with a 100% tariff is still less expensive than the price of an American made electric vehicle. It is just as 'reliable' as well.
The US auto manufactures require a bail out about every 15 years or so.
Wheres the tariffs go? My pockets bro..free money from consumers..usd 10.000+taxes...yeah bring it on..😅
They did the same thing when japan was a super economy in the 1980s it scared america so they made the value of the yen 50% less valued
Its acctually the opposite, they made yen to higher value same level as US. So that japanese export were more expensive.
The charts and graphs are super clear and easy for viewing.
Sorry for us customers 😂
Simply ban thenm.. No need for a tariff.
A moment of silence for the Americans😢
Guy needs some new pants to replace those low-riding ones......
In a case of a war, China would switch off your EV remotely. Keep that in mind, and no replacement parts nor software updates would be available.
US is not importing any Chinese EV to begin with. What’s different now?
It's not going to work. China will open new factory in Mexico or Vietnam and mass export them to the US 😂😂
No one in America wants those crap EVs
It’s to protect the profit of American car companies
one simple reason: they're afraid😮

4% inflation target?
US was just to much stuck to petrol cars trend due to petroleum business. They could easily done this way before Musk came out with Tesla which generate market interest. China on the other hand are investing a lot in development and with design catching up with top brands. The different story it’s usability and future second hand market. What will be left from a 20 years old electric vehicle? Now one knows. With petrol engines it’s much easier at least till this point.

A sure sign that your country can no longer compete on the so-called free market.
Isn't tariff against WTO rule?
would like to turn the gas money into food money.
could really help...
if we could buy EV for $10K one time and recharge for $10 a week,
