China’s industrial overcapacity in solar, EVs, and steel has triggered trade disputes, resulting in U.S. and EU tariffs on exports.
Chinese Overcapacity and Trade Disputes
China’s overcapacity in key sectors like solar panels, electric vehicles, and steel has led to significant trade disputes. These industries have flooded international markets with low-priced exports, adversely affecting foreign competitors.
Tariffs from the U.S. and EU
In response to these challenges, both the U.S. and EU have imposed tariffs on Chinese goods. This protective measure aims to counteract the negative impact of China’s pricing strategies on local markets.
