随着伦敦方面考虑与欧盟针对中国电动汽车（EV）进口的贸易措施保持一致，北京警告称，如果英国实施限制，将采取“坚决反制措施”。
As London considers aligning with EU trade measures targeting imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), Beijing has warned of “firm countermeasures” if the UK imposes restrictions.
中国商务部周一表示：“我们希望英方遵循世界贸易组织规则，三思而后行，而不是盲目跟随欧盟。中国将密切关注事态发展，如果英方执意限制中国电动汽车，将采取坚决反制措施。”商务部的这份声明是对英国贸易大臣阿纳斯·萨尔瓦尔上周言论的回应。萨尔瓦尔曾表示，英国和欧盟必须“合作并步调一致”，以应对中国在汽车领域的支配地位。
“We hope the UK will abide by World Trade Organization rules and think twice before acting, rather than blindly following the EU,” the Ministry of Commerce said on Monday. “China will closely monitor developments and take firm countermeasures if the UK insists on restricting Chinese electric vehicles.”The ministry’s statement was in response to remarks last week by Anas Sarwar, the United Kingdom’s trade minister, who said Britain and the European Union must “work together and act in lockstep” to address China’s dominance in the automotive sector.
他说，英国政府正在就针对中国电动汽车的潜在关税继续与欧盟进行讨论。
The British government was continuing discussions with the EU on potential tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, he said.
据北京中国商务部称，英国目前对中国电动汽车征收10%的关税，没有附加的国家特定关税。相比之下，经过一年多的反补贴调查后，欧盟在2024年底对来自中国的纯电动汽车征收了最高达35.3%的附加关税。
The UK currently imposes a 10 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, with no additional country-specific duties, according to the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing. By contrast, the EU imposed additional duties of up to 35.3 per cent on pure electric cars from China in late 2024 after more than a year of anti-subsidy investigations.
较低的关税使英国成为对中国电动汽车制造商而言相对更容易进入的市场。中国乘用车协会本月发布的数据显示，今年前八个月，中国品牌占英国新能源汽车市场份额的26.7%，在欧洲市场中仅次于意大利，位居第二。
Lower tariffs have helped make the UK a relatively more accessible market for Chinese EV makers. Chinese brands accounted for 26.7 per cent of the UK’s new-energy vehicle market in the first eight months of the year, the second-highest share among European markets after Italy, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association this month.
尽管商务大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹——即萨尔瓦尔的上司——上周表示英国政府不会因为布鲁塞尔的压力而改变贸易规则对中国车辆征税，但英国仍在权衡是否对中国电动汽车加征关税。
The UK is weighing up the imposition of additional tariffs on Chinese EVs even though Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds – Sarwar’s boss – said last week that the British government would not change its trade rules to tax Chinese vehicles because of pressure from Brussels.
唐宁街周五表示，将“欢迎把英国纳人《产业加速器法案》的目标”——该法案旨在提高制造业对欧盟经济的贡献。根据法案的一项法德提议，英国参与该计划的条件是与欧盟的贸易防御措施保持一致。
On Friday, Downing Street said that it would “welcome the objective to have the UK included in the Industrial Accelerator Act” – which aims to increase manufacturing’s contribution to the EU economy. Under a Franco-German proposal, British participation in the scheme would be conditional on aligning with the EU’s trade-defence measures.
中国驻英国大使馆的一位发言人本月早些时候表示，北京“坚决反对”任何针对中国产品的歧视性关税或限制，并警告称此类措施“只会扰乱正常的贸易秩序并损害消费者的利益”。
A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in the UK said early this month that Beijing “firmly opposed” any discriminatory tariffs or restrictions on Chinese products, warning that such measures would “only disrupt the normal order of trade and harm the interests of consumers”.
