I’m just glad the stupidity between Oz and China has calmed down. Even without the tariffs, Nationalism would have higher impact on Oz products in China imo. I remember a customer of mine specifically demanded at their annual banquet where they invite major partners, customers and suppliers all over the world to attend, it’s quite a feast, that no American or Australia wines, seafood, vegetables and meats were to be used by the hotel. I asked one of the founders, a classmate of mine from Uni in the States, why such a demand and he simply replied, under what logic does a customer take insults from a supplier and still buy products of said supplier, it’s simple business logic. He even mandated and paid for all his employees to switch their phones to Huawei if they were using iPhone and banned iPhones in the company. Over-reaction imo but can’t argue with his logic, his money, he can spent it however he wants. The procurement people that I work with actually said to me during that conversation that she wished she knew the boss was gonna do that as quite a few of them threw out their iPhones and bought Huawei or another Chinese brand before the decision was announced so they ended up paying for it themselves. The Chinese consumers are scary when they perceive an unreasonable slight against China and they will take their spending elsewhere. That said, I was a major beneficiary of that spat since I supplied them with products from Indonesia and the consensus amongst Indonesia business circles is , we hope Oz would keep this up so China turns to us for supply. However I personally believe that we should all compete on product quality and pricing and not on silly geopolitical neocon agendas.

Then when the vehicle is sold to the consumer at the price+tariff, the dealer then sends the tariff money into the gov't. China doesn't pay the tariff. What tariffs try and do is limit the amount of product being imported, and then make it so expensive the consumer by the local brand rather than the Chinese brand. But either way t our gov't gets the tarrif money.

[@willcarelse6713]

First time watching your show Sir and no disrespect meant but I want to correct something you said...Tarrifs are not paid by the seller but by the buyer therefore the producer does not have to increase their price. The tarrif is paid by the buyer/importer at your customs authority before goods enter a country.. Therefore tarrifs actually do not impact the seller as they already received the amount they are selling the product for.

[@madeehasaeed786]

They do in a different way, tariffs reduce the demand for the products that they are applied to, therefore in this case the Chinese EV makers will sell less cars into Europe or the US as a result of them being more expensive to the customer in those markets plus the country imposing the tariffs makes a big packet at the same time, or government revenue if you like and that too probably making more than the exporters for doing nothing, but yes at the end of the day it is the customer that pays but the exporter also pays by making less sales volume, they can work but only if the producers in the countries imposing the tariffs are willing to innovate and compete which it seems is not going to happen.

[@willcarelse6713]

I fully agree with your statement @madeehasaeed786... The problem with the tarrifs some countries and Trump propos is that the seem to forget the it's meant to resurre your local industry through increased prices making importing goods less attractive therefore strengthening your local producers. What I notice is that many products that tarrifs are being imposed on can not be produced locally due to hollowed out production infrastructure. Building up that capacity will require RND and capital injection so how do they plan on making local industries competitive when they don't exist... I would propose building up local industries first, winning back some market share through competitiveness and then applying tarrifs.

A lot of totally incorrect information in this channel. “The Americans never sold many cars in China.” WHAT ? GM in 2017, including their various joint ventures, sold over FOUR MILLION cars in China, and China was a huge profit centre for Ford which sold over EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND CARS there in 2016 alone. (But since then, the decline for ICE cars has been precipitate, and sales from Ford last year was barely a quarter of what they were at their peak). (Ford has now gone into partnership with a Chinese EV company to build a mega factory for EV’s in China with a view to leveraging Chinese EV tech and manufacturing prowess and exporting to the rest of the world). “China is subsidizing their EV industries a huge amount” : again WRONG. Subsidies for individual cars have been removed. Previously, the majority of subsidies were not for each car manufactured or sold, but mainly with free or cheap land to set up factories, preferential low interest loans, tax exemptions, setting up of supply chains and infrastructure by the government next to the car factories etc etc in order to facilitate the establishment and growth of EV companies. There was a subsidy of something over US$1,000 per car but that has now been discontinued as the industry is mature. (This $1,000+ in no way accounts for the price advantage of Chinese EV’s as these are manufactured in China at about one quarter the cost that they are able to produce them for in Europe or the U.S. ; this is due to advantages in supply chains, infrastructure, and degree of automation). Ford’s joint venture is to build a factory in China, and NOT to build a factory with the Chinese partner in the U.S., so this should not be affected as of now. So I would not take any information from this channel without extensive fact-checking as the guy is either terribly out of date or just plain wrong.

[@grandwonder5858]

Truth of the matter is that the US subsidizes its corporations way more than China does because the US subsidizes its corporations year after year after year with no end in sight! Versus China who only does it to get its companies started in an industry. But as usual it is always the US’s scheme to accuse its competitor of what it does!

[@BeelP.]

Untrue. You are not comparing apples with apples. China has no tariffs on imported EVs, your quoted Chinese tariffs only apply to ICE imports. After all, China has penalties on purchases on even domestically produced ICE vehicles. In comparison, EU is slapping tariffs on Chinese EV imports.

Well Done!! These comments are totally in line with what the “Electric Viking” has been saying and in line with the 3 factory closings scheduled in Germany. Cars in the $60k -$70k range are too expensive for the average consumer and with the new tariffs imminent , will prevent consumers from grabbing an economical EV for a reasonable price.

All goods imported into China are subject to the nation’s value-added tax (VAT) of either 13 percent or 17 percent. The 13 percent tax is available for certain goods that fall mainly within the categories of agricultural and utility items, while the 17 percent tax applies to other goods subject to the VAT tax.

The EU thinks that they can force Chinese companies to invest in building factories and infrastructure in EU if the Chinese wants to "work-around" the tariffs. This in turn will also helps with EU's economy. Don't think many will invest though, with the high costs of energy, materials, labour etc... and in danger of those assets getting seized. It seems EU companies are moving out to China instead. China is playing Weiqi while EU is playing self inflicting games.

I´m german. I think there is only ONE hope for german car industries and that´s to do the same as Stellantis: Combine your knowledge with chinese car brands, reduce costs, specialize on cheaper class cars ( competible to duster ) middle class and some higher class vehicles BUT on HYBRID !!! Europe hasn´t build up the infrastructure for pure EV-cars and compared to china it never will in that efficiency - with Hybrids you can keep the old infrastructure in every country of europe but mixed up with EV - the key is to become selfsufficient by using gasoline only for generating power to the battery by a range at least 1000 km per filling. I promise you that EVERY gasoline driver would switch to a competible Hybrid-car because non of them buy a car within older technology standards - its like loosing status. Still driving an allready existing gasoline car is like being a rebellion against EU-conformism but you won´t buy a new one .... driving an EV-car in europe is like naive believing in green parties solutions and you look like an idiot .... so driving a HYBRID is the solution because THAT´S driving new technology while you become INDEPENDENT from government investments in infrastructure - the new credo is: be smartin hard times and become nearly independent - independency is the new status in times when you can´t count on governments anymore !
