Some EU and US leaders have accused China of overcapacity, and dumping electric vehicles, solar panels, and batteries on the global market, at artificially low prices. The fear is that this will lead US & EU companies to go bust. China has hit back, saying that there is no overcapacity in its 3 clean tech industries, and accusing some of these countries of being protectionist.

Who is right? Are we about to see a trade war erupt between EU and China, similar to what we had seen between the US and China?

    The US has an overcapacity of weapons. 😂
  • @kayipchan832
    Why they didn't blame China in the past decades when Chinese was doing hard and dirty work to produce low-end but yet cheap products?
  • @rifqiaji5031
    when you win : "free trade" when you lose : "that's cheating"
  • @ben8718
    All countries have overcapacity, that's why you export stuff...
  • @brighthorse6981
    This reminds me of the Sino-British trade before 1840. Britain couldn't win over China in silk, porcelain and tea, so it started dumping drugs on China. When China started to ban drugs, the British used cannons to force China to buy their products. So Westerners are very experienced in fair trade.

    Blaming China is much much easier than improving yourself.🤣
  • @FarahAbdul
    China has been dominating this market while America was dropping bumps on poor people 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    China’s ruling class learned from the painful lessons of the “Century of Humiliation”. At each juncture, China missed out of the past Industrial Revolutions. Hence, modernity was out of reach and it rendered the nation backward and weak. Chinese are basically hardworking and are fast learners with an average IQ of 105 and above (among the highest globally). Given a conducive environment and the right policies, Chinese tech can really take off and surge ahead. “Agricultural China” had been the leading economy for millennia and now “Industrial China” will take the world by storm. You simply cannot pull down a hardworking and innovative people. Period.

    When you have to tariff and ban your competitors products cause they're better and cheaper, you've already lost.

    US and Europe never complained when they dominated car sales in China
  • @morbid747
    China's EV export is 15 percent of it's output while Germany , Japan and South Korea export 50 to 80 percent of their output. Overcapacity ?
  • @fatcammal
    Born and raised in Texas, I believe china is going to skyrocket past the US in GDP within the next 10 years. It's difficult for many of my friends to accept, but I see it unfolding. I started learning chinese last year to prepare.

    The G7 is suffering from over-anxiety that they may no longer have the hegemonic economic, military, and media position she enjoyed in the last 2 centuries.
  • @howelau1123
    Don't Blame China Over Capacity because US/EU Cannot Produce Anything that is Cheaper and Faster in Delivery. BLAME YOURSELF
  • @KiRiKoUtheBeAsT
    I just don't understand this whole thing how can you blame your problems of manufacturing on someone modernizing and developing thiers better. It just doesn't make sense to me
  • Pufffff..."overproduction"? Pathetic! That is called "scale economy"!
