In recent years, China has dominated the global new energy vehicle industry with our leading supply chain advantages and low-cost market competitiveness. This has sparked concerns and anxiety in the United States about the development of its new energy industry and economic security. In this context, the US government has taken a series of restrictive policy measures to curb the development of Chinese new energy vehicle companies in the US market.
The US government's policy orientation of protectionism towards China's new energy vehicle industry reflects the deep-seated dilemma and trade-off between addressing climate change and safeguarding the interests of its own industry. It originates from the technical and cost disadvantages of its domestic new energy industry, and also reflects the strategic ambition of the United States in the competition of emerging technology, as well as the short-term considerations in election politics. This contradictory policy undoubtedly harms the common interests of global environmental governance and hinders the promotion and application of clean energy technologies on a global scale. For this, China should continue to adhere to expanding opening-up, promoting the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and contributing to the global green and low-carbon transformation.
