China Appeals EU Tariffs on Electric Vehicles at WTO

Beijing challenges provisional duties, citing violations of global trade rules and climate cooperation

China has filed a complaint with the WTO against the EU's provisional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
The EU imposed additional duties of up to 38% on Chinese EVs, claiming they benefit from unfair subsidies.
China argues that the EU's measures lack legal and factual basis and undermine climate change efforts.
The dispute reflects broader tensions in global trade and green technology dominance.
Definitive duties are expected to take effect by November, pending further negotiations.
