CCTV News: According to the website of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, recently, US President Trump signed an announcement announcing an increase of 25% tariffs on imported cars and some parts. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers expressed firm opposition to this and hoped that the US could listen to the voices of the industry and correct its wrong behavior in a timely manner.
Automobiles are highly international industries. Through an efficient cross-border supply chain system, they achieve optimal allocation of global resources, providing users around the world with safe and convenient transportation and logistics tools. The US imposes tariffs on its own benefit, which is a typical unilateral practice. It seriously violates WTO rules, disrupts normal trade order, and has a major impact on the stability of the global automobile industry's production and supply chain. It will further raise automobile prices, put additional burdens on consumers in various countries, including the United States, and have a negative impact on the global economic recovery.
The China Automobile Industry Association calls on the US government to listen to the voices of the industry, correct wrong behaviors in a timely manner, seek mutually beneficial and win-win solutions through consultation and exchanges, carry out international trade with an open, inclusive and cooperative attitude, and jointly maintain the prosperity and stability of the global automobile industry.
At the same time, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers will also actively communicate and cooperate with international peers to jointly respond to this challenge and make due contributions to protecting global consumer rights and promoting the development of the world economy.
