Several things about this. First, the issue isn't the danger of Chinese cars from the UK getting into the EU market, it is Chinese vehicles eating up market share EU manufacturers might previosuly have had. More important 1/2 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

this is all well and good, but let's not be surprised when the EU don't include us in Made in Europe and the like. This is as much about diplomatic alignment as it is anythng else. Our partners increasingly want us to pick a side, and that's going to involve some painful decisions or non-decisions.

Views for @politico.com: " #Beijing’s concessions had been calculated to assuage Berlin, given the importance of the automotive industry to the #German economy. I’m just hoping Merz doesn’t turn away from the letter he sent to the Commission."

A reminder that many of the jobs in the EU automotive sector come in distribution and servicing wherever the car is actually made. And there will be investment across the board in a new competitive environment for makers. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/b...
