Brussels said it’s “confident” that the tariffs it has imposed on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) are in compliance with global trade rules following a complaint from Beijing.

The Chinese regime on Aug. 10 requested a consultation with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over the European Union’s anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese EVs.
