英国周四表示，已准备好将其对华电动汽车的关税与欧盟的关税保持一致，这为布鲁塞尔在与北京谈判以缩小贸易差距时提供了提振。
The UK said Thursday it was prepared to align its tariffs on Chinese EVs with those of the EU, delivering a boost to Brussels as it negotiates with Beijing to narrow the trade gap.
欧洲领导人采取了更为强硬的立场，以保护本土企业免受中国进口潮的冲击，政策制定者将这种进口潮归咎于欧洲汽车制造业及其他行业出现深度岗位流失。迄今为止，应对措施既包括保护主义政策，也包括工业政策，其中包括引发欧洲若干最大经济体之间分歧的“欧洲制造”规则。
European leaders have adopted a more aggressive stance to shield native businesses from a tidal wave of Chinese imports, which policymakers have blamed for deep job losses among European automakers and other sectors. So far, counter-efforts have involved both protectionist and industrial policies, including “Made in Europe” rules that have stoked discord among some of Europe’s largest economies.
