EU has "BYD tarrifs" as well - China is subsidizing it's electric car industry and rest of the world isn't to happy about losing manufacturing jobs, despite pandering to green transition and whatnot.

It's one thing to want to transition to green sources of energy, and another thing to unfairly compete with subsidies. I support tariffs that aim to counterbalance the latter.

  This is counterproductive when you also have subsides for the green transition!

    Why? It's fine to subsidize electric cars, when Chinese electric cars cost the same as German electric cars.

BYD are building a plant in Hungary. I'm not sure how subsidised they are - in their accounts they make a profit and pay taxes. But wages are lower in China.
