According to foreign media reports, US Secretary of Commerce Raymond claimed on May 8, local time, that the US may adopt “extreme measures, that is, prohibit Chinese connected cars from entering the US.” Meanwhile, foreign media quoted people familiar with the matter as reporting that the US may increase new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. In response, Fu Bingfeng, executive vice president and secretary general of the China Automobile Association, said in an exclusive interview with “China Daily” that trade protectionism and isolationism should never become themes in the NEV industry. As a highly globalized industry, automobile manufacturing requires a global perspective and an open mindset to promote its healthy development. “America's exaggeration of overcapacity and so-called national security concerns in China's NEV industry is typical trade protectionism. The new energy industry is co-created by humans and can bring common welfare to humans. After such a creation developed, it was restricted from entering the US market, which is very unreasonable.” (China Daily)
