US increases tariffs on China, including 100% tax on electric vehicles

The White House announced an increase in tariffs for goods from China worth around $18 billion, labeling it as a response to China’s “unfair” trade practices. The statement highlighted technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation as areas where China’s practices were threatening American businesses and workers. The tariff increase will affect various products, including electric vehicles, semiconductors, batteries, steel, aluminum, minerals, ores, radioactive substances, and medical equipment.

Significant tariffs were imposed on Chinese-built electric vehicles, increasing from 25% to 100%, citing extensive subsidies and non-market practices leading to overcapacity as the reason. Other items like semiconductors, batteries, minerals, and medical equipment will also face increased import costs. The US government plans to implement some restrictions this year, while others will be phased in gradually by 2025. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed concern over China’s overcapacity issues and emphasized the shared concerns among US partners globally.

The new tariffs are aimed at countering China’s unfair trade practices and are specifically targeted at strategic sectors like renewable energy, battery, and electric mobility, where China has been gaining power. Key inputs for green technologies like lithium-ion batteries, battery parts, natural graphite, and permanent magnets will also face tariffs. The White House stated that these measures are designed to complement green investments at home and create and sustain good-paying jobs as part of President Biden’s economic plan.

The statement also criticized former President Donald Trump’s trade policies towards China, stating that they failed to increase American exports or boost manufacturing as promised. China is likely to be a central foreign policy issue in the upcoming US presidential election campaign. The focus is on addressing China’s unfair trade practices, particularly in key strategic sectors vital for America’s economic growth and job creation.

Overall, the increase in tariffs on goods from China is a response to what the White House views as unfair trade practices that are threatening American businesses and workers. The focus is on specific sectors like technology, renewable energy, and electric mobility, where China has been gaining power. The new tariffs are part of a broader effort to counter China’s overcapacity issues and complement green investments at home. However, the effectiveness of these measures and their impact on the global economy remains to be seen.
