China hopes EU to reach ‘political decision’ on EV tariffs soon, commerce minister says

BEIJING (Reuters) – China hopes the European Commission will make a “political decision” on its anti-subsidy case against Chinese electric vehicles soon, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said in a video call with Mercedes-Benz’s Chairman Ola Källenius on Friday.

China welcomed European car companies, including Mercedes-Benz, to expand investment in China and deepen their presence in the Chinese market, a Chinese commerce ministry statement cited Wang as saying in the talks with Källenius, who is also the president of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association.
