      As Sam already pointed out multiple times the Chinese market is already screwed for the European automakers since the Chinese prefer BYD and those other domestic EV makers. So in essence the European carmakers can’t possibly loose the Chinese market twice hence, the EC does not risk anything by protecting the European market similar to what the US does.
      In addition, what is the rationale of critizing the EU for protective measures serving the people that elected the EC and the EP while not critizing the over-regulating and over-protecting Chinese dictatorship in Bejing subsidizing the Chinese car industry (and in fact many other industries too) heavily based on a strategy for economical, technological and geopolitical superiority?

    Boeing had a monopoly on passenger jets. Then Airbus stepped in. The duopoly existed for decades. Now the Chinese have stepped in to disrupt that duopoly with COMAC.

      Actually it's the other way around. Stellantis and Renault are hurt by Chinese cars coming to Europe. Exactly in their segment of cars which they produce themselves.
      Both obviously don't care about China, as they have no market in China anyways, thus Spain and France pushed for tariffs.
      Who is screwed is the German car companies, as they have large markets in China, but have to deal with the tariffs in China if they retaliate.
      It has a reason why German companies and politicians publicly declared that they are against tariffs, because it hurts them.
      Now the revised tariffs means nothing else that Germany lost out again, with Spain and France pushing through their position.

      It's about short-sighted German unions, not automakers. German automakers want to operate globally. The big problem with this is that Germany is facing a large generation retiring and a massive population decline, which will create a labor shortage. See population pyramid for reference. For German automakers to fund the retirements of the large generation in the process of retiring, they need to increase production efficiency, remain economically viable and increase gross margins.

    If this small insignificant reduction is really true, then It's a great insult to China indeed. China should probably slap 30-40% tax straight on European cars like BMW, Merc, Audi, Ferrari, etc. This will essentially kill all German and European cars in China on the spot. In addition, also slap extra tariffs, etc on other European products like wine, pork, dairy, etc as well.

    For all those who believe that China will no longer have a market if the EU and the USA have closed the markets through import taxes. I would like you to analyze where these Chinese companies came from. They were all companies with different profiles from telephones, motorcycles or cars that were not heard of in the EU or the USA, but which took the place of expensive European products and sold enormously in emerging markets in Asia, Africa and South America. Just as they developed by selling cheap and competitive products in those areas where European companies only sold luxury products for, e.g.: Nokia, Alcatel... so they will also take the place of European cars which will ultimately have the same end, nothing will change.

    No, instead the west has been subsidizing their car industries for decades to perfect the ICE, now all that is going down, all due to short sighted industrial policy (or lack thereof).
