As the EU is concluding its anti-subsidy investigation on Chinese EVs, the two governments continue their efforts to negotiate a solution to resolve the issue. Recent statements from China have underscored two key points of contention in the ongoing negotiations.

Last week, China's Ministry of Commerce provided an update on its countervailing investigation on EU dairy products, identifying the European companies that would be part of the sample.

On October 8, China's Ministry of Commerce announced provisional anti-dumping measures against EU brandy. This is part of an ongoing trade remedy tit-for-tat between China and the European Union.

As the result of a vote by EU member states today, the European Commission can move forward with its proposed tariffs on Chinese EVs, although negotiations with China on a resolution may continue.

China's commerce officials are in Europe this week, intensifying their efforts on negotiations to avoid EU tariffs on Chinese EVs.

The ongoing trade conflict between the European Union (EU) and China over anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) continues, as both sides remain at odds over the potential solutions and the impasse may be difficult to break.

Today, China's Ministry of Commerce published its preliminary ruling in the anti-dumping investigation on EU brandy, finding that dumping had occurred but deciding not to impose anti-dumping duties for the time being.
