China's EV Market Success Is Due To 'Constant Innovations,' Not Subsidies, Says Commerce Minister Taking A Dig At Yellen's 'Overcapacity' Concerns
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
China's Commerce Minister, Wang Wentao, attributes the success of China's EV industry to 'constant innovations' rather than subsidies, countering U.S. and EU concerns of overcapacity. The comments were made during a roundtable in Paris, involving major Chinese companies like Geely, BYD, and CATL. This comes amidst the EU's anti-subsidy probe into Chinese EV imports and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's visit to China, where she voiced concerns over Chinese industrial overcapacity.
