China Threatens Pork Imports from Europe in Response to E.V. Tariffs

China has announced an anti-dumping investigation into pork imports from the European Union as a response to the EU's tariffs on electric cars from China. This move is seen as retaliation for past trade disputes, with China potentially aiming to pressure the EU to reconsider its actions.

The investigation is expected to last for approximately one year and will focus on pork imports intended for human consumption. The EU Commission has announced preliminary tariffs of up to 38.1 percent on electric cars from China to protect the European market.

German automakers are seeking a solution or mitigation of the impact of the tariffs through direct talks with Chinese counterparts.
