When the US wins the competition, the US never said overcapacity, never allowed other countries to impose tariff on US product. Free market, democracy, competition are the jargons. Once it loses the competition, all are broken. Hypocrisy at its best.
"never allowed other countries to impose tariff on US product" This makes no sense. No country can magically stop another from imposing tariffs. America has been in plenty of trade wars with other nations, it's part of doing business.
The US like competition ONLY if they can win BUT if they can't win it will revert to PROTECTIONIST. Chinese EVs are affordable and well equipped and the US manufacturers know they cannot compete on price, standard inclusion or quality.
The exact same people who are trying to keep out affordable cars are the ones saying Americans don’t want EVs. If there is no demand then why keep them out?
Americans don’t want EVs because of the price. But Americans might be willing to switch to electric cars if the price is only $11,000 for a Chinese EV. That is what American car manufacturers are afraid of.
@@LaureanBotDragan Lose your job if you work for Ford or GM, cheaper EVs would mean consumers have more money to spend on other things and would significantly improve the US economy overall. The US put the tariffs on due to lobbying from auto industry.
I’m an American working for one of the top chinese EV companies in China. For years Chinese consumers would buy imported cars from other countries with a 30-40% tariff because they didn’t trust nor like homemade vehicles. That was until the government pushed and incentivized manufacturers to improve quality and design of their cars to get the consumers to buy home made. If the US wants to win this war the government has to be serious and apply the same strategies to help manufactures to improve quality and cost. We can’t rely on American companies to do that on their own, they are far too greedy and accustomed to high payouts. All the major US car manufacturers are so used to bullying the consumers by dropping quality year over year and increasing prices to what it used be standard is disgusting. American companies ripping off American people. The moral of the story is that the Chinese EV industry is strong because it has a strong government that supports the industry. I invite anyone to come to China and just test any of the evs here and chat with their sales people. You’d be blown away all the incentives the government gives to help buyers choose a home made vehicle.
not gonna happen! Western "Capitalism" EVERYBODY in the "Western supply chain" wants their pound of flesh and ride off into the sunset! Thats how the entire West got here!
We'd be blown away the things Chinese people were able to fake or lie about, since that's very much the culture there, unfortunately. So one has to wonder about the truthfullness of anything salespeople or companies, let alone the Chinese government says.

I find it so funny that the country that was doing all sorts of propaganda about the Free Market, sending its Chicago School of Economics professors (Milton Friedman) all over the globe to spread that message. Doesn’t hesitate to not follow its ideologies when it isn’t in their favor.
Because the United States only sells "free trade, market economy, globalization, invisible hand, neoliberalism, capitalism" when americans gain the upper hand, Through the behavioral logic of Americans, I can predict that as it becomes increasingly difficult for the United States to oppress China, the United States will also give up "free speech, media freedom, human rights, fairness, impartiality, neutrality, and morality." soon. and completely take off the coat of values.
@myhome772 “friendly ally and partner” I’d say that the accurate term is vassal. As for EVs, personally I’m a petrolhead (manual transmission), I will hold off buying an EV for the longest time.
In Thailand here, you can see Chinese EVs on every corner of the street. American people, sad for you guys paying more but settling for a secondary quality product while giving lots of profits to the Wall Street for a 0.1% of the population.

@@Robbert_nl Of course it is not all about the environment. The point is to act for the environment *and* the industry, and it is the case with EVs replacing ICE cars. And it is not just cars, China is investing in trains, solar, battery, etc. The goal is not to return to stone age but to develop a sustainable economy. BTW, I own an EV (US made, while I am French), but on a daily basis I am going to work with public transportation, as my wife and my children. And building a wide and reliable public transportation is also a huge industry. And EVs are not just good to fight climate change, but also pollution, and pollution costs a lot to EU and China. And honestly, I do not know any brand in the US or EU protesting about tariff, or just to avoid repercussions from China where they try to sell cars, but at the same time they are lobbying for tariffs. The only exception is probably Tesla.

@myhome772 China imposes an import tariff of about 15% on complete vehicles from Western countries, unless it's a high-emission vehicle, which, according to the Western emphasis on green initiatives, should be phased out anyway. However, the U.S. imposes a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs.
Lazy , greedy , slow , no vision ,no major leap - US automakers. Now they need protectionism from the Govt. so the consumer is stuck with high priced sub standard cars , it is scary how legacy automakers have just given up cuz they know they already lost this fight.
@@mortenh.o.703 Go read more, research more , see more Chinese EVs which I’m sure you haven’t. Ignorance is bliss. BTW VW already closed their factories in China and will lay off workers in Germany , the first time in 87 years. Go figure.

Americans are so paranoid - paranoid over safety (therefore everyone must carry firearm/s) paranoid over losing their economy to a country quadruple their population. Face it, guys, you're losing the uphill battle and this century will see Asia dominate the world scene.
I worked in Canada and drove many US made cars. To be frank, they were atrocious. Now the Chinese have arrived with top quality ev's and the US car makers have freaked out and told their stooges in government to essentially ban them. This all speaks for itself really. Fair competition is unfair as far as the US is concerned.
With the arrival of Chinese made, the local produced cars have to improve its quality and standard, and that eat into their profit. That's against what the US manufacturers want.
Becuz Tesla greatly benefits the chinese EV industry and the whole country of china due to Teslas super advance technology. Chinese EV makers don't bring anything of value to america, they will only get rich from us cuz we dont take chinese yuan, rubles or pesos.
Dont forget, we didn't ban vinfast factory in america. Their vehicles sukk, so americans didn't buy them. Byd, nio and all others will suffer the same fate so they will resort to price cutting that will destroy everybody.
Yes, and it is probably why Tesla was not in the picture. The issue is not about US EV industry, but about legacy automakers making money with big ICE SUV and big ICE trucks rather than investing all on the only possible future. BTW, hybrids and PHEVs are ICE vehicles, so more and more investments on the wrong technology. And Tesla can definitively make a quite cheaper version of the model 3, will less margins, more "hard plastics", lower performances and so narrower tires and smaller brakes, etc. But legacy automakers make more money on big vehicles, sold with credits over decades !
are you nuts? the problems with chinese EVs is they get totalled when receiving a minor incident. because they're so poorly built it cant be fixed, or it's made intentionally this way or they dont have spare parts.
@@fpetren if you go by CCP propaganda then that's totally true including articles they buy out in western media. If you honestly think China is outperforming nearly all tech sectors suddenly, you drank too much of the Communist koolaid
US EV vehicles are also government subsidized, you get tax breaks for buying US made EVs, so spare us the BS that Chinese vehicles are the only ones that are government subsidized.
Yes! In fact, the US government has given trillions of dollars worth on subdidies over the last few years to the American companies (Way more than China does for its companies), but the difference is the Chinese government expects results, the US government doesn’t. Instead the US politicians give subsidies every year to the American companies as kickbacks for the money that the American companies have given to the politicians as bribes to make sure the politicians would pass the laws that they wanted to be passed. How is that China’s fault? Let’s say what you said is true - China placed 30-45% tariffs on American cars, but how is it okay for the US to place 100% tariffs on Chinese cars before a single Chinese car has even hit the US market? After all, every American car company that wants to sell its cars in China is allowed to do so in China so why can’t the US plays by the same rule if it is a true democracy, free market capitalist country like it claims to be? FYI, the US subsidizes its companies more than China. For example, every 15-20 years the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out its banks and real estate companies. The big 3 US auto companies would have gone out of business decades ago without massive hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies and bailout money from the US government. Furthermore, even with hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidy and bailout money from the US government the American auto companies could not compete with Japanese auto companies without the US government playing dirty by suppressing Japanese car companies from being allowed to fairly compete with the American car companies. What gives the US the right to play so dirty and to violate every rule every time it can’t compete with other countries in a certain field? After all, the US certainly wouldn’t allow Japan, Germany, China, or any other countries to pull the same shady scheme that the US pulled on them! If the US is actually a free market capitalist country like it claims to be then it would compete fairly by playing by the same rules that other countries play by and not violates all of the rules all the time whenever it loses a competition! Especially when most of the rules are written by the US itself in the first place! Just admit it the US is a sore-losing crybaby that has gotten too used to lying, cheating, and stealing as a way it does its business with other countries like Mike Pompeo said and now it doesn’t know what to do when it has to compete on a level playing field with other countries!
@myhome772 Most don't want EVs. People like the ability to drive and not have to stop and charge for hours. Only takes a few minutes to fill up with gas.
@myhome772 Renewables are one of the biggest wastes of money in our lifetime. Solar and wind produce a relatively small amount of energy for a very large cost. The best would be to produce energy with nuclear power, if we are really serious. Electric vehicles and all the wind and solar to power them will cost us trillions, and we will go broke trying to pay for renewables and all the government subsidies needed to pay for them. If you think inflation was bad in the last few years, wait until we are forced to move everything with EVs. Get ready for massive shortages of everything, and prices through the roof.
@myhome772 If people want to drive an EV, fine with me, but the problem is that Dems want to ban gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and force everyone and everything to move by EVs. I hope you like growing your own food, because you won't have much to choose from when you go to the grocery store and there is nothing but empty shelves.
@@willmont8258 If you have a house just plug it in when you get home. How can it be more convenient than that? Even in apartments there are charging stations. Unless you are homeless than yes you need to go to the gas station.
Why do American car companies love selling to China, but hate Chinese cars in the U.S.? Because they like their cars to travel, but when Chinese cars try to come here, it’s like, “Whoa, buddy! No reverse parking allowed!” 😄
Is this a serious question? Of course we want to sell goods to our rivals and also reduce the sale of our rivials goods. That is 101 whether for a nation or for a corporation.
They sell cars made in China, not a single car was imported from USA. If China set up factories within US then tariffs would be 0% but the price would not be so attractive any more.
Your numbers are a joke. Middle East wars cost the US $8 trillion or $8000 billion and estimated $6.5 billion in long term costs like veteran care and interest.
chinese government release EV development plan in 2004, even before tesla release their first car. the goal is to reduce pollution in china. all EV producers received subsidy, even tesla. now, roughly 100 EV car brand are competing each other to stay afloat. just for scale, BYD (the biggest) employing 90k engineers. catl (biggest battery manufacturer) have 18k engineers.
@@gaocori7413 90K is just the engineers. BYD has the largest R&D department among all carmakers, with about 104K employees (there are more people in R&D besides engineers); that is almost twice as much as the second place in R&D headcount, VW, has.
And It worked, I was in China back in March and I could actually see blue clear skies and sun set ,oh, there's minimal noises on the road because of EVs

I live in Mexico and Chinese cars are everywhere. Personally I still drive my Tacoma 2008 ( which drives like new by. the way). I also use Uber a lot and a lot of them are these new Chinese cars, including BYD. At first I was skeptical but they all look incredibly good with nice finishes and the software, displays and controls look amazing. I always ask the Uber drivers if they are happy with their purchase and ALL of them with no exception so far speak wonders of their cars. Practically Zero reliability issues, Zero quality control issues.. I have yet to hear one guy say anything bad about his car.. Except maybe, some people have had trouble getting replacement parts from China, but that is also getting fixed. Here's my prediction. If Chinese cars enter the US market .. American Automakers are f*cked ! Not a doubt in my mind.
Due to the China tariffs, U.S. legacy automakers can focus more heavily on producing internal combustion engine vehicles. US will be at least a decade behind China in EV adoption and innovation.
What about the US$119 billion in tax breaks US govt gave to local EV producers just a few months ago. For all intents and purposes a tax break is technically a subsidy.
Ford and GM were too slow in adopting EV's and instead focus on making large $60,000 SUV EV's and expensive electric Ford Lightning pickup trucks because they make more profit on larger vehicles. Ford and GM could care less about making affordable electric cars for the masses. So, I say allow affordable Chinese EV's from companies like BYD to sell their EV's in the US. If Ford and GM go out of business because they can't compete, it's their fault.
Ford practically stopped building cars. But China can sell cars in the US. Just build them in US factories. Why should the US not apply the same rules China applies? Come to USA, build factory, joint venture, tech transfer. What’s wrong with that?
@@TheBooban Nobody in their right mind would tech transfer to USA. Tesla did not tech transfer to China, nor Mercedes, BMW, Porsche or anyone anywhere.
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
China can sell unsubsidized EVs to the US, Canada and EU and compete on quality and nil carbon emissions. All other countries will enjoy subsidized. EVs. Question is, Will US, Canada and EU remove tariffs or create new excuses , like National security threat"..... to still block the higher priced China EVs? Obvious!
How long can the US government keep shielding their auto industry and continue allowing domestic vehicles to be sold at ridiculously high prices? How long can the US consumers tolerate it knowing or beginning to know that quality alternatives at affordable prices exist outside their borders? Also, how will the US car makers plan to compete outside their own domestic market where consumers are not restricted from buying Chinese cars?
t’s true that the prices of cars in the U.S. have a lot of people talking, especially with more affordable options popping up globally. Competing on the world stage, where restrictions don’t exist, could really push US automakers to step up their game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
US can't compete because their number one concern is paying out Corporate Bonuses or dividends to shareholders. Companies first used stocks/shares as a way of raising funds to improve and grow a company that made something to sell to the consumer. Stocks/shares are for trading to artificially raise the share prices at certain dates that correspond to Corporate Bonus evaluation time. The US and many western countries have economies that are based on F.I.R.E. ie Finance, Insurance, Real Estate. It is all generated by key strokes and not by actually producing a tangible product. US GDP is a distortion when an increase in share prices are counted as growth or the increase in premiums for insurance policies is added into GDP growth.
US is lagging behind China in many aspects including high speed rail, 5G going to be 6G, solar panels etc. etc. But instead of cooperating with China, US arrogant but gullible political leaders chose to be antagonistic and banning exports of high-end electronic chips and instruct Dutch company ASML not to sell its EVD machines nor doing any after sales services to China, much to the detriment of US and Dutch cooperations. When China is able to produce her own chips and EVD machines which are for sure, Western cooperations shall blame and curse stupid US policy similar to ordering them pulling out of Russian market at the start of Ukraine war.
Bought a Kia Rio back in 2012. Cheapest AND Most reliable vehicle I’ve owned to date. 300k and only repair was $40 sensor. Engine running perfectly fine when sold. Ppl were knocking it back then for being a cheap Korean poor quality car. How wrong they were! Chinese make all kinds of other high quality products we love: iPhones, Teslas, etc. No doubt they can make better cheaper cars than Americans.
Why no mention about "how" the tariffs against Japanese cars failed in the early 80's. Even the arch conservative Reagan pulled the tariff when he saw US auto weren't adapting, they were just wind falling the opportunity.
There's a more interesting example in cleantech: Obama's solar panel tariffs. At the time the US had roughly half the market share of solar-grade polysilicon (the processed material solar cells are made of), but China was starting to dominate solar panel manufacture, so the US imposed tariffs of more than 250% on Chinese solar panels; not only this completely failed in jumpstarting the US solar panel industry, China imposed counter-tariffs on US polysilicon that decimated US production, so now China controls close to 90% of the solar-grade polysilicon production.
230B over 10 years also includes investments by the car companies themselves and consumer incentives , not just manufacturers subsidies (US call those funding, tax breaks, inflation-reduction act etc). Don't be disingenuous, DW.
Let me share a piece of Chinese history. During the Qing Dynasty, the British came to China with their steam engines and cameras and sold them to the then leader of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi. However, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not understand trains and believed that cameras would take away people’s souls. She said that horses You can also pull trains and say that we don’t need the British steam engines or your railways, and then because you are in a coma The mediocre Cixi, China missed the opportunity to industrialize and transform, and reformed to become a modern country. From then on, the Qing Dynasty declined. The Opium War, the wooden ships of the Qing government were no match for the British, and they were ceded by Western colonies to pay compensation. I hope that American leaders will not be like Cixi. Likewise, it will lead the United States into recession and treat China's electric cars as soul-sucking cameras.
What’s going in the US. A lot of money is tied to gas production. A lot of congressman take lobby money from gas companies. Most of the other countries in the world are embracing the EV market. We are not. If we don’t start to embrace EV production the US will decline further!!
Or simply say, rich people control the US and want to maintain their 1% status. They already pushed the poverty line higher with money shared to Chinese products, now there are more products coming, how would both the rich people react, and would the middle class people being pushed down still support this structure.
Not many years from now, the China will dominate commercial planes as well, the Chinese already dominate the ship building in term of number of ships they have been built.
Then the US might sanction to protect Boeing and probably even have the US government to force to shut down a Boeing plant where black workers are they outperform the other US plant to blame on the black workers for Boeing’s flaws.
I have a Toyota Corolla. It will last me another 20 years. I will not pay $60K for an electric living room on wheels, when I only want a cheap and reliable transportation. Greed is the reason they don't want the Chines EVs. How much profit is there in an $11k car? How much is the profit on a $60K Tesla? There's your answer.
Lol you would have been one of those narrow-minded Americanz who vowed never to buy any Japanese car. Why didn't you buy a Ford or GM instead if you were so patriotic?
to be honest, there isn't that much profit on Tesla's car sales, 95%+ of the profit comes from selling their quotas to other crappy manufacturers that can't adjust in 10 years and otherwise must pay gargantuan fines. So Tesla is basically a quota- and not a car- manufacturer
So, It's important to let consumers have choices and make their own decisions. ICE lovers go for ICE, EV lovers go for BEV/PHEV. Why the Govt. should stop us from making our own decisions???
The irony here is that experts were telling US car companies that they need to transition to EVs, and how to do it, but those manufacturers said they were not interested, and basically told these experts to go and see if the Chinese were interested. They WERE. So we taught them how to destroy our car companies, because CEOs and bean counters can't see past the next quarter's earnings.
Short answer: American entitled, expensive and inefficient workers can never compete against their hardworking Chineese rivals. As such automobile manufactured in America is crazy expensive and not competitive in the market

@@Luka_3D Why are you asking me that? Every car I've owned has been used. Of course I would consider a used vehicle if the price was right and everything checked out.
@@CyborgZetaI wouldn’t dare buy a used EV. The value in the car is the battery. Most people are not going to buy a used EV. At least until they can come up with a cheaper way to change an EV battery. A new EV battery cost nearly as much as a new EV car.
We should not be afraid of Chinese EVs if we used the same investment strategy China has used for decades, i.e., bringing Chinese EV companies to the US, require them to have a 50% US partner and produce critical components in the US. All EV's from approved joint US-China ventures can be sold in the US as domestically produced vehicles. The US will gain a lot by having China help develop the EV supply chain for inexpensive EVs. Thus, if we can't beat them, join them.
You make a good point about how China has grown its EV industry, and it’s interesting to think about the U.S. using a similar strategy. Teaming up with Chinese EV companies could be a smart move if it means more affordable EVs and a stronger supply chain in the US. It’s definitely not a simple issue, but like you said-if you can’t beat ‘em, maybe joining forces could do the trick Really appreciate your take on this!
Back in the 2000s the Chinese knew they couldn't beat the Germans or Yanks with combustion engines design, but they also had the foresight (and lack of political clown circuses) to see that their strengths and the future relied on electronic and battery engineering.
China needed to reduce air pollution from exhaust pipes of petrol and diesel engined cars and acknowledged that it was far behind in developing it,s own internal combustion engines .It decided to move to what it saw as the next best solution ie development of battery tech and electric motors. The govt did meet and inform all legacy automakers back in 2004 that it was moving in that direction, so they had plenty of time to do so to meet the competition. Instead they rested on their laurels thinking that Chinese companies would not be able to do so. Now they act shocked as if it was sprung on them out of the blue. They deserve to lose market share because if the US govt did not protect them consumers would vote with their wallets and put legacy auto out of business anyway.
The Paris Climate Agreement has brought tremendous pressure to China's development of the electric vehicle industry. In order to stimulate the competition mechanism in the electric vehicle market, China invited Tesla to build a super factory in Shanghai. Tesla's success in China has driven the innovation of many electric vehicle manufacturers, but many joint ventures, such as Shanghai GM, Shanghai Volkswagen, Guangzhou Honda, etc., have lost market share because they have not kept up with the transformation of electric vehicles. Enterprises survive in competition and perish in comfort. Only the fittest survive.
The answer why is simple... China must import all oil, but can generate electricity from wind and solar , green and less dependable on foreign partners
More than a decade ago, people knew that fuel vehicles would be eliminated. Japan has a huge amount of government subsidies for new energy research and development every year, but unfortunately, the Japanese made a wrong bet, they chose hydrogen energy. And the US government has a VERY VERY VERY VERY slow response in thinking of the future. Now, they just resist change with shameful trade protectionism, absolutely shameful!!!
EV’s are not selling! EV’s have awful resale value and is as bad as 50% drop of purchase price in one year! Now people find that on the road charging costs make charging costs on road more than refuel cost of ICE vehicles.
The same rule that says Russian invasion of Ukraine as an illegal war of occupation, and American invasion of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, Afghanistan as a war of freedom. When you control the media, you can call it anything you want..
The US automakers keep releasing $70k+ EVs and then complaining that their is no demand. Lol The govt and companies don't care about the environment either, it's all about greed and the dollar they worship. Vehicle prices are absolutely ridiculous now.
When Yugo car was introduced proudly by Yugoslavia, the country was bombed to oblivion. When Japanese cars first became really adopted by USA consumers, the Japanese economy was put in ruins for a decade or more. Now war on China is discussed endlessly & media ramps up the scare. Fear is the heart of the bully.
Charging on the road is no longer an issue with the latest BYD using a small gasoline engine dedicated to battery charging. BYD demonstrated 2,100 km of range using a full tank of gasoline and fully charged battery.
That is just a stopgap measure until charging infrastructure catches up. A BEV is safer, quieter, and cleaner than a PHEV, even those that (like BYD's) are more like an EV with a generator than a regular hybrid, and within a couple years should also become cheaper to make (because battery prices are still falling).
I drove a BYD EV in Thailand and the quality and performance was excellent, plus loads less expensive than any of the EVs based out of the USA. I would avoid EVs in the USA, but here in SE Asia where it never gets cold and electricity rates are low, they work.
American's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs is very short sighted. This action actually harms mass EV adoption and EV development in the US while benefitting the petroleum interests. The smart way to protect the US domestic auto industry is to figure out a way to use the growth of the EV market to fund the transition of the US auto industry away from the ICE age. The most efficient way to do this could involve imposing a special sales tax on imported Chinese EVs (i.e. 15% ~ 20%) and use this money to fund domestic auto manufacturers. A lot of imported Chinese EVs could be sold even with a special 20% sales tax on top of them. This could generate a huge pool of fund for the US government to fund Ford and GM's transition to EVs. At 100% tariff, not a single Chinese EV will be sold therefore the US government wouldn't get a single penny which means zero funding for Ford and GM.
*CHINA:* - build their own space station .. - build their own EUV lithography machine .. - already have 3mn chip - made the safest and affordable EV cars ....
China has over a hundred auto companies. The US has about a half dozen. That tells you all you need to know about why Chinese prices are low and quality is high.
The United States imported approximately 70,000 made-in-China Ford, Volvo, GM new vehicles in 2023 (By the way, China exported a total of 4.91 million vehicles in 2023, the United States only accounts for 1.4% of China’s auto export market share and almost no Chinese brand ). Not a single Chinese domestic car manufacturer has taken the initiative to officially sell their cars in the US. 102.5% tax on Chinese EVs， Go ahead. That must “hurt” China a lot. The US is not the center of the world. 30 094 767 new cars were sold in China in 2023 ( 8.1 million of them were electric vehicles ) , meanwhile only 15 604 278 new cars were sold in the usa (1.4 million were EVs). The US is expected to subsidize Tesla with $34 billion between 2023 and 2030. This isn’t even including the other subsidies that Tesla is going to receive from previous policies. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has subsidized BYD between 2018 and 2022 with the whopping “massive amount” of $ 3.7 billion. So the American company got subsidized 10 times more than the Chinese company, out of the $119 billion in battery subsidies GM got about $21 billion, the truth is the US regime is subsidizing their electric vehicles way more than China is. On November 30, 2023 GM announced record $10 billion stock buyback, more than it’s spending on UAW raises- as its electrification push stalls (Source Bloomberg). That share buyback from General Motors was just q4 of 2023, $10 billion, they get $20 billion in subsidies and they spend $10 billion giving that money back to shareholders. The money isn’t going to innovation like it should, the money seems to go these bloated bureaucratic corporations where they take the money give it to shareholders or give it to executive bonuses or management teams that don’t know how to build a car, get so complicated convoluted they just can’t do business competitively anymore. They don’t need to, instead of being forced to be competitive, being forced to actually spend the money on R&D and producing a high-quality product, they just put a 102.5% tariff on anybody that they cannot compete. Source CNBC, IRS USA, congress.gov.
It was my understanding that the tariffs were designed to prohibit the importing of Chinese vehicles from mainland China to America, but it does not prevent a Chinese automaker from setting up manufacturing in Mexico or North America and selling their cars to US citizens! Also they are not completely banned from selling in the US because the Buick Envision, Lincoln Nautilus, Volvo S90 and Polestar 2 are Chinese made models that are sold in the US.
The real problem is that the chinese cars are better in any sense and not only less expensive. They act fast work hard and the west focuses on lamenting.
Nightfall over America is happening now. Started with the Plaza accord signing in NYC between Japan and Detroit automobile industry. It’s been down hill ever since! Actually the down slide started when Nixon decided to take the US dollar off the gold standard in 1972 and then refuse to give France and Germany back it’s gold in due order! The dollar’s value today is less than 10% of what it was back in 1972!
There is no Chinese car certified in US, tariff is nothing but political propaganda. Chinese EV is only 2% in EU, the tariff is also political motivated. Big Chinese EV market is in ASEAN Australia New Zealand South America and Mexico.
Also most other Asian countries (BYD even has a factory in Uzbekistan), Central America (Costa Rica, for example, has 25% EV market share, almost all of which are Chinese cars), Africa (Ethiopia banned the import of ICE cars, so almost all new cars are either Chinese or made locally with Chinese parts), and the Middle East (both Israel and the Arab countries have China as the main supplier of EVs). Essentially most EVs are either from Chinese brands or else made in China everywhere except the US, Canada, Europe, Japan (tiny electric Kei cars from Japanese automakers dominate the EV market there), and South Korea (though a third of EVs sold in South Korea are already Made-in-China). And the absence of Chinese EVs certified for sale in the US is mostly due to the tariffs and political pressure. Remove the tariffs and you will likely see quite a few Chinese cars entering the US market in short order; keep the tariffs but remove the political pressure and you will see Chinese brands open factories in Mexico to make there not just the cars, but enough of its parts to qualify as a fully made-in-Mexico car under the free trade agreement.
@@p__qnot if Trump wins! He’s clueless with macroeconomics. He’s a simpleton who doesn’t even understands how tariffs hurt the buyer and not the seller!
Yeah when you are making billions, it is OK. But when someone else wants to get in the market !!!! No Way!! The US companies are very sore losers. why not improve the cars and and lower the price!! No! No! Less profit, No Way!!!
Tesla is mentioned only one minute before the end of the video (24:17). What a joke. How can DW make a 25 minutes video on the US and EVs without including Tesla in the argumentation.
Reagan invited Toyota to build car factory in USA, to push for competition while creating jobs.why did China invite Tesla to build super factory in Shanghai? simple, to bring in competition.
DW is like CNN in the US, it pushes woke narrative and Musk is not part of it. Just like CNN, DW is always about politics and any story can be spined in the right direction.

After the introduction of Chinese vehicles in Australia, the prices of both EV and ICE vehicle have dropped, and consumers are the beneficiaries of competition (including those people who have not bought Chinese vehicles).
@@jogana6909 Of course, they were introduced after the pandemic that caused supply-shortage and price inflation that swept the world. The EVs are supposed to be cheaper because they require fewer parts, but was artificially inflated as a result of the chaos out of China.
By the time the big 3 can even make a 25k EV, BYD will have a 5k car with the same amount of range, they are simply improving faster, the only one that can actually put up a fight though is tesla and no one else, America is very much a technology consumer focused, they love technology and tesla plus Chinese cars offer that but no one else does, not at the same level atleast
Stop exploiting consumers is that simple. Consumers should not buy cars for a few years till this industry can learn that ppl is not willing to buy American cars for 60-100k, it’s not Mercedes or BMWs stop it. Can’t wait to get my Chinese cars in 3 years and help the environment.

When the US wins the competition, the US never said overcapacity, never allowed other countries to impose tariff on US product. Free market, democracy, competition are the jargons. Once it loses the competition, all are broken. Hypocrisy at its best.
They wrote the book on hypocrisy, and have a PhD in the same subject.
"never allowed other countries to impose tariff on US product" This makes no sense. No country can magically stop another from imposing tariffs. America has been in plenty of trade wars with other nations, it's part of doing business.
The US like competition ONLY if they can win BUT if they can't win it will revert to PROTECTIONIST. Chinese EVs are affordable and well equipped and the US manufacturers know they cannot compete on price, standard inclusion or quality.

I’m an American working for one of the top chinese EV companies in China. For years Chinese consumers would buy imported cars from other countries with a 30-40% tariff because they didn’t trust nor like homemade vehicles. That was until the government pushed and incentivized manufacturers to improve quality and design of their cars to get the consumers to buy home made. If the US wants to win this war the government has to be serious and apply the same strategies to help manufactures to improve quality and cost. We can’t rely on American companies to do that on their own, they are far too greedy and accustomed to high payouts. All the major US car manufacturers are so used to bullying the consumers by dropping quality year over year and increasing prices to what it used be standard is disgusting. American companies ripping off American people. The moral of the story is that the Chinese EV industry is strong because it has a strong government that supports the industry. I invite anyone to come to China and just test any of the evs here and chat with their sales people. You’d be blown away all the incentives the government gives to help buyers choose a home made vehicle.
not gonna happen! Western "Capitalism" EVERYBODY in the "Western supply chain" wants their pound of flesh and ride off into the sunset! Thats how the entire West got here!
We'd be blown away the things Chinese people were able to fake or lie about, since that's very much the culture there, unfortunately. So one has to wonder about the truthfullness of anything salespeople or companies, let alone the Chinese government says.

Yes! In fact, the US government has given trillions of dollars worth on subdidies over the last few years to the American companies (Way more than China does for its companies), but the difference is the Chinese government expects results, the US government doesn’t. Instead the US politicians give subsidies every year to the American companies as kickbacks for the money that the American companies have given to the politicians as bribes to make sure the politicians would pass the laws that they wanted to be passed. How is that China’s fault? Let’s say what you said is true - China placed 30-45% tariffs on American cars, but how is it okay for the US to place 100% tariffs on Chinese cars before a single Chinese car has even hit the US market? After all, every American car company that wants to sell its cars in China is allowed to do so in China so why can’t the US plays by the same rule if it is a true democracy, free market capitalist country like it claims to be? FYI, the US subsidizes its companies more than China. For example, every 15-20 years the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out its banks and real estate companies. The big 3 US auto companies would have gone out of business decades ago without massive hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies and bailout money from the US government. Furthermore, even with hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidy and bailout money from the US government the American auto companies could not compete with Japanese auto companies without the US government playing dirty by suppressing Japanese car companies from being allowed to fairly compete with the American car companies. What gives the US the right to play so dirty and to violate every rule every time it can’t compete with other countries in a certain field? After all, the US certainly wouldn’t allow Japan, Germany, China, or any other countries to pull the same shady scheme that the US pulled on them! If the US is actually a free market capitalist country like it claims to be then it would compete fairly by playing by the same rules that other countries play by and not violates all of the rules all the time whenever it loses a competition! Especially when most of the rules are written by the US itself in the first place! Just admit it the US is a sore-losing crybaby that has gotten too used to lying, cheating, and stealing as a way it does its business with other countries like Mike Pompeo said and now it doesn’t know what to do when it has to compete on a level playing field with other countries!

Ford and GM could care less about making affordable electric cars for the masses. So, I say allow affordable Chinese EV's from companies like BYD to sell their EV's in the US. If Ford and GM go out of business because they can't compete, it's their fault.
We are banning all EV in america. We will kick Tesla out and send it to Mexico to compete with byd.
Ford practically stopped building cars. But China can sell cars in the US. Just build them in US factories. Why should the US not apply the same rules China applies? Come to USA, build factory, joint venture, tech transfer. What’s wrong with that?

China can sell unsubsidized EVs to the US, Canada and EU and compete on quality and nil carbon emissions. All other countries will enjoy subsidized. EVs.

How long can the US government keep shielding their auto industry and continue allowing domestic vehicles to be sold at ridiculously high prices? How long can the US consumers tolerate it knowing or beginning to know that quality alternatives at affordable prices exist outside their borders? Also, how will the US car makers plan to compete outside their own domestic market where consumers are not restricted from buying Chinese cars?
t’s true that the prices of cars in the U.S. have a lot of people talking, especially with more affordable options popping up globally. Competing on the world stage, where restrictions don’t exist, could really push US automakers to step up their game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It’ll continue so long as Americans keep electing corrupt stooges and paying for these new cars. Just buy used and let these manufacturers dry up
US can't compete because their number one concern is paying out Corporate Bonuses or dividends to shareholders. Companies first used stocks/shares as a way of raising funds to improve and grow a company that made something to sell to the consumer. Stocks/shares are for trading to artificially raise the share prices at certain dates that correspond to Corporate Bonus evaluation time. The US and many western countries have economies that are based on F.I.R.E. ie Finance, Insurance, Real Estate. It is all generated by key strokes and not by actually producing a tangible product. US GDP is a distortion when an increase in share prices are counted as growth or the increase in premiums for insurance policies is added into GDP growth.
Exactly. Market based on financialization not production.
Finance Industry absolutely inflates GDP numbers
US is lagging behind China in many aspects including high speed rail, 5G going to be 6G, solar panels etc. etc.
But instead of cooperating with China, US arrogant but gullible political leaders chose to be antagonistic and banning exports of high-end electronic chips and instruct Dutch company ASML not to sell its EVD machines nor doing any after sales services to China, much to the detriment of US and Dutch cooperations.

Chinese make all kinds of other high quality products we love: iPhones, Teslas, etc. No doubt they can make better cheaper cars than Americans.
Why no mention about "how" the tariffs against Japanese cars failed in the early 80's. Even the arch conservative Reagan pulled the tariff when he saw US auto weren't adapting, they were just wind falling the opportunity.
It did not fail completely, tariffs made Japanese companies open factories in USA and sell cars as a domestic product and therefore no tariffs.
@@mlynto I agree they were incentivised to do this. But Reagan pulled the tariffs anyway because Detroit was taking the piss
There's a more interesting example in cleantech: Obama's solar panel tariffs. At the time the US had roughly half the market share of solar-grade polysilicon (the processed material solar cells are made of), but China was starting to dominate solar panel manufacture, so the US imposed tariffs of more than 250% on Chinese solar panels; not only this completely failed in jumpstarting the US solar panel industry, China imposed counter-tariffs on US polysilicon that decimated US production, so now China controls close to 90% of the solar-grade polysilicon production.

You are correct.
Let me share a piece of Chinese history. During the Qing Dynasty, the British came to China with their steam engines and cameras and sold them to the then leader of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi. However, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not understand trains and believed that cameras would take away people’s souls. She said that horses You can also pull trains and say that we don’t need the British steam engines or your railways, and then because you are in a coma The mediocre Cixi, China missed the opportunity to industrialize and transform, and reformed to become a modern country. From then on, the Qing Dynasty declined. The Opium War, the wooden ships of the Qing government were no match for the British, and they were ceded by Western colonies to pay compensation. I hope that American leaders will not be like Cixi. Likewise, it will lead the United States into recession and treat China's electric cars as soul-sucking cameras.
What’s going in the US. A lot of money is tied to gas production. A lot of congressman take lobby money from gas companies. Most of the other countries in the world are embracing the EV market. We are not. If we don’t start to embrace EV production the US will decline further!!
Or simply say, rich people control the US and want to maintain their 1% status. They already pushed the poverty line higher with money shared to Chinese products, now there are more products coming, how would both the rich people react, and would the middle class people being pushed down still support this structure.

Greed is the reason they don't want the Chines EVs. How much profit is there in an $11k car? How much is the profit on a $60K Tesla?
There's your answer.
Lol you would have been one of those narrow-minded Americanz who vowed never to buy any Japanese car. Why didn't you buy a Ford or GM instead if you were so patriotic?
I just bought a new BYD M6 for $30K. It is a no brainer. Very good price for the product you get.
to be honest, there isn't that much profit on Tesla's car sales, 95%+ of the profit comes from selling their quotas to other crappy manufacturers that can't adjust in 10 years and otherwise must pay gargantuan fines. So Tesla is basically a quota- and not a car- manufacturer
So, It's important to let consumers have choices and make their own decisions. ICE lovers go for ICE, EV lovers go for BEV/PHEV. Why the Govt. should stop us from making our own decisions???
The irony here is that experts were telling US car companies that they need to transition to EVs, and how to do it, but those manufacturers said they were not interested, and basically told these experts to go and see if the Chinese were interested. They WERE. So we taught them how to destroy our car companies, because CEOs and bean counters can't see past the next quarter's earnings.
The US is scaring itself. Nothing more than that.

Short answer: American entitled, expensive and inefficient workers can never compete against their hardworking Chineese rivals. As such automobile manufactured in America is crazy expensive and not competitive in the market
@MrJonas7, The US government has given trillions of dollars worth on subdidies over the last few years to the American companies (Way more than China does for its companies), but the difference is the Chinese government expects results, the US government doesn’t. Instead the US politicians give subsidies every year to the American companies as kickbacks for the money that the American companies have given to the politicians as bribes to make sure the politicians would pass the laws that they wanted to be passed. How is that China’s fault? Let’s say what you said is true - China placed 30-45% tariffs on American cars, but how is it okay for the US to place 100% tariffs on Chinese cars before a single Chinese car has even hit the US market? After all, every American car company that wants to sell its cars in China is allowed to do so in China so why can’t the US plays by the same rule if it is a true democracy, free market capitalist country like it claims to be? FYI, the US subsidizes its companies more than China. For example, every 15-20 years the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out its banks and real estate companies. The big 3 US auto companies would have gone out of business decades ago without massive hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidies and bailout money from the US government. Furthermore, even with hundreds of billions of dollars of subsidy and bailout money from the US government the American auto companies could not compete with Japanese auto companies without the US government playing dirty by suppressing Japanese car companies from being allowed to fairly compete with the American car companies. What gives the US the right to play so dirty and to violate every rule every time it can’t compete with other countries in a certain field? After all, the US certainly wouldn’t allow Japan, Germany, China, or any other countries to pull the same shady scheme that the US pulled on them! If the US is actually a free market capitalist country like it claims to be then it would compete fairly by playing by the same rules that other countries play by and not violates all of the rules all the time whenever it loses a competition! Especially when most of the rules are written by the US itself in the first place! Just admit it the US is a sore-losing crybaby that has gotten too used to lying, cheating, and stealing as a way it does its business with other countries like Mike Pompeo said and now it doesn’t know what to do when it has to compete on a level playing field with other countries!
Q - Why the US is Terrified of Chinese Electric Cars?
A - Chinese Electric Cars are better than the US.
American never accept it. they always say chinese product is tofu.
No way, absolutely no way, American cars are the best in the world!
I'd consider an EV if you could get a sedan for less than $25,000. You won't get something like that from an American manufacturer though.
Would you consider buying used?
@@Luka_3D Why are you asking me that? Every car I've owned has been used. Of course I would consider a used vehicle if the price was right and everything checked out.
On paper, electric car is cheaper than a combustion car to be produced. So it says a lot on the manufacturer.
@@CyborgZetaI wouldn’t dare buy a used EV. The value in the car is the battery. Most people are not going to buy a used EV. At least until they can come up with a cheaper way to change an EV battery. A new EV battery cost nearly as much as a new EV car.
Dude are you from the US? A Toyota cost 40k+ for the crappest model, Land Cruiser is 80+ sienna is 60+ lol 😅
We should not be afraid of Chinese EVs if we used the same investment strategy China has used for decades, i.e., bringing Chinese EV companies to the US, require them to have a 50% US partner and produce critical components in the US. All EV's from approved joint US-China ventures can be sold in the US as domestically produced vehicles. The US will gain a lot by having China help develop the EV supply chain for inexpensive EVs. Thus, if we can't beat them, join them.
You make a good point about how China has grown its EV industry, and it’s interesting to think about the U.S. using a similar strategy. Teaming up with Chinese EV companies could be a smart move if it means more affordable EVs and a stronger supply chain in the US. It’s definitely not a simple issue, but like you said-if you can’t beat ‘em, maybe joining forces could do the trick Really appreciate your take on this!
China must have been super wise to invest in electric cars.Who knew people would be this scared😂
Back in the 2000s the Chinese knew they couldn't beat the Germans or Yanks with combustion engines design, but they also had the foresight (and lack of political clown circuses) to see that their strengths and the future relied on electronic and battery engineering.
China needed to reduce air pollution from exhaust pipes of petrol and diesel engined cars and acknowledged that it was far behind in developing it,s own internal combustion engines .It decided to move to what it saw as the next best solution ie development of battery tech and electric motors. The govt did meet and inform all legacy automakers back in 2004 that it was moving in that direction, so they had plenty of time to do so to meet the competition. Instead they rested on their laurels thinking that Chinese companies would not be able to do so. Now they act shocked as if it was sprung on them out of the blue. They deserve to lose market share because if the US govt did not protect them consumers would vote with their wallets and put legacy auto out of business anyway.
The Paris Climate Agreement has brought tremendous pressure to China's development of the electric vehicle industry. In order to stimulate the competition mechanism in the electric vehicle market, China invited Tesla to build a super factory in Shanghai. Tesla's success in China has driven the innovation of many electric vehicle manufacturers, but many joint ventures, such as Shanghai GM, Shanghai Volkswagen, Guangzhou Honda, etc., have lost market share because they have not kept up with the transformation of electric vehicles.
Enterprises survive in competition and perish in comfort. Only the fittest survive.
The answer why is simple...
China must import all oil, but can generate electricity from wind and solar , green and less dependable on foreign partners
@@houseofancientsgenerate electricity from wind and solar 😂?
transcribethis AI fixes this. US fears Chinese electric cars.
More than a decade ago, people knew that fuel vehicles would be eliminated. Japan has a huge amount of government subsidies for new energy research and development every year, but unfortunately, the Japanese made a wrong bet, they chose hydrogen energy. And the US government has a VERY VERY VERY VERY slow response in thinking of the future. Now, they just resist change with shameful trade protectionism, absolutely shameful!!!
EV’s are not selling! EV’s have awful resale value and is as bad as 50% drop of purchase price in one year! Now people find that on the road charging costs make charging costs on road more than refuel cost of ICE vehicles.
in the end the consumer is the one who has to pay the tariff to get a car, not China.
That"s the name of the game. Tax to help Zelenski.
Weren't tariffs bad? I thought the US asked everybody else to remove their tariffs. Or ... do those "rules" only apply to others?

Charging on the road is no longer an issue with the latest BYD using a small gasoline engine dedicated to battery charging. BYD demonstrated 2,100 km of range using a full tank of gasoline and fully charged battery.
That is just a stopgap measure until charging infrastructure catches up. A BEV is safer, quieter, and cleaner than a PHEV, even those that (like BYD's) are more like an EV with a generator than a regular hybrid, and within a couple years should also become cheaper to make (because battery prices are still falling).
@FabioCapela it'll catch up in what, another 10 years?? Even then, the gas engine to help charge a battery will always have a use case.
@@FabioCapela Agreed. And BYD's long-range PHEV is a great way for the transition at the moment.

I would avoid EVs in the USA, but here in SE Asia where it never gets cold and electricity rates are low, they work.
Well, Norway's proof that EVs work just fine in the cold wearther, no?
American's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs is very short sighted. This action actually harms mass EV adoption and EV development in the US while benefitting the petroleum interests. The smart way to protect the US domestic auto industry is to figure out a way to use the growth of the EV market to fund the transition of the US auto industry away from the ICE age. The most efficient way to do this could involve imposing a special sales tax on imported Chinese EVs (i.e. 15% ~ 20%) and use this money to fund domestic auto manufacturers. A lot of imported Chinese EVs could be sold even with a special 20% sales tax on top of them. This could generate a huge pool of fund for the US government to fund Ford and GM's transition to EVs. At 100% tariff, not a single Chinese EV will be sold therefore the US government wouldn't get a single penny which means zero funding for Ford and GM.

The United States imported approximately 70,000 made-in-China Ford, Volvo, GM new vehicles in 2023 (By the way, China exported a total of 4.91 million vehicles in 2023, the United States only accounts for 1.4% of China’s auto export market share and almost no Chinese brand ). Not a single Chinese domestic car manufacturer has taken the initiative to officially sell their cars in the US. 102.5% tax on Chinese EVs， Go ahead. That must “hurt” China a lot. The US is not the center of the world. 30 094 767 new cars were sold in China in 2023 ( 8.1 million of them were electric vehicles ) , meanwhile only 15 604 278 new cars were sold in the usa (1.4 million were EVs).
The US is expected to subsidize Tesla with $34 billion between 2023 and 2030. This isn’t even including the other subsidies that Tesla is going to receive from previous policies. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has subsidized BYD between 2018 and 2022 with the whopping “massive amount” of $ 3.7 billion.
So the American company got subsidized 10 times more than the Chinese company, out of the $119 billion in battery subsidies GM got about $21 billion, the truth is the US regime is subsidizing their electric vehicles way more than China is.
On November 30, 2023 GM announced record $10 billion stock buyback, more than it’s spending on UAW raises- as its electrification push stalls (Source Bloomberg). That share buyback from General Motors was just q4 of 2023, $10 billion, they get $20 billion in subsidies and they spend $10 billion giving that money back to shareholders. The money isn’t going to innovation like it should, the money seems to go these bloated bureaucratic corporations where they take the money give it to shareholders or give it to executive bonuses or management teams that don’t know how to build a car, get so complicated convoluted they just can’t do business competitively anymore.
They don’t need to, instead of being forced to be competitive, being forced to actually spend the money on R&D and producing a high-quality product, they just put a 102.5% tariff on anybody that they cannot compete.
Source CNBC, IRS USA, congress.gov.
It was my understanding that the tariffs were designed to prohibit the importing of Chinese vehicles from mainland China to America, but it does not prevent a Chinese automaker from setting up manufacturing in Mexico or North America and selling their cars to US citizens! Also they are not completely banned from selling in the US because the Buick Envision, Lincoln Nautilus, Volvo S90 and Polestar 2 are Chinese made models that are sold in the US.
I dont care what rich person makes the car I just want one I can afford
The real problem is that the chinese cars are better in any sense and not only less expensive. They act fast work hard and the west focuses on lamenting.
The US government also provides heavy subsidies. But it subsidized the shareholders of the big companies other than the customers.

There is no Chinese car certified in US, tariff is nothing but political propaganda. Chinese EV is only 2% in EU, the tariff is also political motivated. Big Chinese EV market is in ASEAN Australia New Zealand South America and Mexico.
Also most other Asian countries (BYD even has a factory in Uzbekistan), Central America (Costa Rica, for example, has 25% EV market share, almost all of which are Chinese cars), Africa (Ethiopia banned the import of ICE cars, so almost all new cars are either Chinese or made locally with Chinese parts), and the Middle East (both Israel and the Arab countries have China as the main supplier of EVs). Essentially most EVs are either from Chinese brands or else made in China everywhere except the US, Canada, Europe, Japan (tiny electric Kei cars from Japanese automakers dominate the EV market there), and South Korea (though a third of EVs sold in South Korea are already Made-in-China).
And the absence of Chinese EVs certified for sale in the US is mostly due to the tariffs and political pressure. Remove the tariffs and you will likely see quite a few Chinese cars entering the US market in short order; keep the tariffs but remove the political pressure and you will see Chinese brands open factories in Mexico to make there not just the cars, but enough of its parts to qualify as a fully made-in-Mexico car under the free trade agreement.
