The European Commission has rejected offers by Chinese electric-vehicle makers to adjust their prices in a bid to avoid sharply higher tariffs ahead of potentially pivotal talks between Beijing and Brussels next week.The tariffs were announced after a months-long probe launched by commission president Ursula von der Leyen that sharply increased trade tensions between the 27-member bloc and China, the world’s second-biggest economy.EU officials have said the tariffs are needed to protect European manufacturers from being undercut by low-cost, China-made EVs that it says are unfairly subsidised by Beijing.

Clearest indication the dragon's a paper dragon & it's intimidated by India .

It's time the world does to China what China's done to the world. All along it was China which indulged in industrial espionage , still does. The world didn't bother much as China didn't innovate anything except mfg in scale.

Now that China's actually come up with something time to give China a dose of its own medicine. As it is China's a huge tradition of Hanjian . That's how the Chinese got addicted to opium.

It's all very well for China to blame a century of humiliation on the Gwailou but everyone knows the Chinese or the Hanjian were complicit in these acts & profited enormously.

I imagine in these times there are plenty of high ranking executives & engineers of such companies who'd want to secure their own future & wealth.

Don't be surprised if in the near future you see plenty of defections of such individuals to the west & the CCP holding press briefings regularly whining about industrial espionage with their mouth pieces Global Times , People's Daily , Xinhua , etc going ballistic.

I knew it was showtime for you to present how many Chinese words and pharses you would handle!

If the old forum were exisited, all Chinese words you ever used in this thread, are all concentrated in this post. ^_^

First time see Lady Palki using such claim and logical voice.

According to Dataforce, registrations for China-made electric vehicles (EVs) across Europe fell by 9.7% year-on-year in July.

It is believed that this decline is linked to the EU's provisional additional tariffs on China-made EVs. However, the decrease was significantly less severe than the 30% drop in June, suggesting that the impact of these new tariffs may be temporary.

In response, Chinese car manufacturers are preparing to establish production plants overseas to counter the additional tariffs being imposed by other countries, which will likely boost their sales volume in the long term.

Instead of critiquing my knowledge of Mandarin however meagre it is how about focusing on the meat of the argument & tell us why's CCP so intimidated about sharing battery tech with India .

If as the CCP claims & you indirectly imply through the millions of posts you've made here citing superior Chinese knowledge , technological & engineering feats , vis a vis an India which having missed the boat holds no threat whatsoever to China , there should be no issue in sharing this knowledge at a cost.

Yet CCP has explicitly opposed it prohibiting Chinese EV OEMs from sharing such knowledge. What could be the reason ?

Chinese officials see the Indian market as risky, especially for Chinese companies

A Chinese nationalist has died in India. Has the CCP declared a state of mourning in Zhongghuo ? What about CCP mouthpieces like Global Times ? Have they come up with obituaries ? Hopefully it's penned by somebody high up in the Politburo ! This Chinese nationalist was a high ranking member of the communist party here .
 
In which case why are your companies here ? They should immediately withdraw from India.

These Chinese companies came to India when the relationship between the two countries was good, they are not doing well now, it is very difficult to get visas to enter India,

So why're they still around ? Nobody's preventing them from getting lost .

Also @FalconSlayers I see you've exercised your powers as a moderator in my previous post . A couple of days ago this same member made a post using AI . When I complained to the moderator team ( didn't tag you ) all I got was a like with the post being retained . How about more equanimity in exercising your powers as a team?

Unless of course using AI to generate responses to post here is acceptable in which case I don't have a problem.
 
The global 6G standardization work is accelerating. On September 12, during the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) plenary meeting held in Melbourne, Australia, the 6G scenario use case and demand research project, led by a representative from China Mobile, was approved. This marks the first 6G standard project by 3GPP, receiving support from over 90 companies worldwide, signifying that global 6G standardization has officially entered a substantive phase.

3GPP, as an important organization for formulating international communication standards, develops technical specifications and standards based on the framework set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The initiation of 6G standardization work means the formal launch of the industrialization of 6G networks, paving the way for faster and smarter communication in the future.

The US has proposed rules that would hit many low-value shipments from China with new taxes - a measure aimed at curbing the flood of packages from shopping sites such as Shein and Temu.

The Biden administration said the plan was intended to stop "abuse" of an exemption that allowed packages worth less than $800 (£600) to enter the US without facing tariffs and other fees.

The US said the "de minimis" rule has helped firms such as Shein and Temu, which typically ship directly from the manufacturer to the customer, undercut competitors with lower prices.


In statements, the two companies defended their business models.

The US raised the exemption from tariffs and other fees for shipments from $200 to $800 in 2016 to facilitate trade and allow officials to focus on higher priority shipments.

But lawmakers have voiced increasing alarm about "exploitation" by firms such as Temu and Shein, as the two make rapid inroads in the US market.

The new rules would remove the exemption for Chinese goods that currently face tariffs from the US - a wide range of products including shoes, machinery and 70% of textiles and apparel.

They would also increase what information shippers must provide to authorities.

Temu said its success was due to an "efficient business model that cuts out unnecessary middlemen, allowing us to pass savings directly to our consumers".

It said it was reviewing the rules and remained committed to "delivering value to consumers".

"Temu's growth does not depend on the de minimis policy," it added.

Shein said its success came from its "on-demand business model" and that it supported reform of the de minimis exemption so that the rules were applied "evenly and equally".

The company said compliance was a priority and that it was already participating in a trial programme with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

"We want to disclose more of what’s in every package and are working closely with CBP," the company said.

'Exponential increase'​

Since launching a few years ago, Temu and Shein have gained followers with flashy Super Bowl adverts and ultra-low prices.

The popularity has put such pressure on Amazon, the dominant e-commerce company in the US, that the firm is reportedly exploring its own discount unit focusing on direct-to-consumer shipments.

Their rise has also brought scrutiny from US politicians and regulators, who have raised questions about the safety of products on their sites and warned of a "high risk" that Temu was selling products made using forced labour.


Authorities have blamed their success for putting strains on US border and customs authorities, as the number of packages entering the US under the de minimis exemption has surged from 140 million in 2013 to more than 1 billion last year.

In announcing the action, the Biden administration said "several China-founded e-commerce platforms" now accounted for a "majority" of shipments under the $800 threshold.

It said its actions were a response to an "exponential increase in de minimis shipments" that had made it more difficult to identify and block illegal shipments.

It accused companies of looking to skirt consumer protection laws and avoid trade barriers.

"American workers and businesses can outcompete anyone on a level playing field, but for too long, Chinese e-commerce platforms have skirted tariffs by abusing the de minimis exemption,” said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

The American Action Forum, a right-leaning policy group, has estimated that getting rid of the $800 exemption entirely would result in "$8bn to $30bn in additional annual costs that would eventually be passed on to consumers".

The proposal will go through a comment period before being finalised and taking effect.

Authorities in the European Union have been exploring similar measures aimed at low-value shipments, Bloomberg and the Financial Times reported earlier this year.

Shares in PDD Holdings, which owns Temu, fell more than 2% after the announcement.
