The Wall Street Journal reported today: "The U.S. ambassador to Canada said Canadians who purchase Chinese-made electric vehicles will be unable to enter the United States."
Under an agreement announced earlier this year, Canada agreed to significantly reduce tariffs, allowing up to 49,000 electric vehicles assembled in China to enter the country.
Comments: This move by the United States is a stark manifestation of its comprehensive attempt to block Chinese electric vehicles and curb the global expansion of China's new energy industry. Such absurdly restrictive measures precisely reveal America's anxiety and helplessness on the new energy front. Unable to produce more competitive electric vehicles domestically, it resorts to political power to block Chinese products—even at the cost of penalizing ordinary Canadian consumers—turning market competition into bullying behavior. This not only fails to stop China’s electric vehicles from spreading worldwide, but also exposes globally what the U.S. calls “fair competition” truly is: a hegemonic logic that allows only itself to win while forbidding others from thriving.
