German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said that there is still time to stop this upcoming tariff increase and that he will go to China next week to discuss the issue with government officials.
Germany's biggest concern is that China will retaliate following this decision of the EU.
If China takes a similar step; Manufacturers with large sales figures in China, such as Volkswagen, Mercedes and BMW, may be in a difficult situation and suffer major losses.
For example, vehicles such as the Mercedes S and G series imported from Europe to China may be significantly affected by the tax increase.
