US Trade Representative Katherine Tai denounces China for filing WTO complaint over EV subsidies

The US criticised China’s decision to file a complaint with the World Trade Organization over “discriminatory” subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs) on Tuesday, charging that the real unfair trader was the People’s Republic of China.

“We are carefully reviewing the consultation request,” US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in a statement. “Meanwhile, the PRC continues to use unfair, non-market policies and practices to undermine fair competition and pursue the dominance of the PRC’s manufacturers, both in the PRC and in global markets.”
