한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina
recently, the canadian government announced that it would impose tariffs of up to 100% on electric vehicles imported from china, which led to a dispute between tesla and the canadian government. tesla tried to reduce the tariffs through official channels and communication with the canadian government, but failed to reach a consensus in the end. although no specific data was released, according to the vehicle identification code, model 3 and model y were indeed exported from shanghai to canada, indicating that tesla's electric vehicles are actively expanding overseas markets.
at the same time, the eu imposed a 9% tariff on tesla electric vehicles produced in china, while a 36.3% tariff was imposed on other chinese electric vehicle imports, which reflects the eu's policy differences on chinese electric vehicles. this has also triggered china's dissatisfaction with canada's policies, especially its strong opposition to canada's unilateral tariff increase. china believes that this not only violates wto rules and undermines the global economic system and economic and trade rules, but may also damage china-canada economic and trade relations, affect canadian consumer welfare, and may even affect canada's efforts to transform green and address climate change.
in the face of the canadian government's tariff policy, china has made it clear that it will take action to safeguard its own interests. they hope to communicate with the canadian government through various channels and methods to eventually reach a compromise and avoid further trade frictions and conflicts.
