When Robert Habeck sets off on his five-day trip to Asia on Wednesday, he does so with great confidence. The Federal Ministry of Economics was not quite as angry as the Chancellor about the EU Commission’s announcement that it would impose an import tariff of up to 48.1 percent on Chinese electric cars from the beginning of July. Habeck has long been pushing for the EU to better defend its interests against China and strengthen its own industry against low-cost Chinese competition. Even if Habeck’s environment emphasized in advance of the trip that he would not negotiate tariffs for the EU, it is very likely that the Green politician in Beijing will push for China to change its subsidy practices.
