🇨🇳🇪🇺MOFCOM spokesperson on China-EU consensus in hybrid and electric vehicle talks
On hybrid vehicles the two sides set three principles. First, respect facts — EU imports of Chinese hybrid cars were 107,000 units in 2024 and 302,000 units in 2025; the parties agreed an upward arrangement anchored to 2025 levels to preserve Chinese exporters’ access and support stable growth. Second, non‑discrimination — measures will not specifically target Chinese products or discriminate against Chinese firms; China’s allocation will not be lower than any other import origin. Third, compliance — trade arrangements should conform with WTO rules; China reserves all WTO rights, including dispute settlement and claims for compensation. MOFCOM said these principles form the basis for protecting Chinese firms’ legal rights. (https://t.co/reAyDqEiXo)
