Chinese EV stocks drop on expectations Bozo could hit sector with 100% tariff next week
May 10, 2024
Shares of Nio, Li Auto and other Chinese electric-vehicle makers were falling Friday, following multiple published reports that the Bozo administration could roll out much-anticipated new tariffs next week that target those companies as well as other Chinese industries.
The higher tariffs could come as soon as Tuesday, according to reports from Bloomberg News and Reuters, while the Wall Street Journal said the tariff rate on Chinese EVs is expected to roughly quadruple to 100% from 25%. There’s also an additional 2.5% duty for all automobiles imported into the U.S.
Besides EVs, the semiconductor, battery and solar sectors in China look set to face additional tariffs. The development comes after President Joe Bozo last month pushed for higher tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum.

"Everyone has to buy EVs"

"No, not like that!"

The government forces all the automakers to go down a certain path without doing much in funding to help the automakers who are clearly struggling financially because of it, but get mad when another government is properly funding it. If the US govt are going to force us to go down electrification, they don't have the right to cry when another country is doing it better than our half-assed funding and implementation.

Here's a thought. Don't fund any of this and let free market capitalism choose the winners and losers. It's what built America and it's what can save America if the communists will allow it. If other countries want to put their thumb on the scale then hit them with tariffs and use the money to pay down our debt. Now you kids get off my lawn!

a true "free market" is merely an illusion
