Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said recently at a press briefing before concluding his visit to China that Spain is reconsidering its position on the EU's import tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. He called on not only the member states but also the European Commission to reconsider their position, and stressed that Brussels and Beijing need to find a compromise that avoids a trade war and seek solutions.

"We need to work together and jointly face challenges, which will benefit our companies and consumers, and turbocharge the green transition in China, Europe, and even the world. China has all along shown the greatest sincerity to actively seek solutions that are consistent with WTO rules and acceptable to both sides. " Mao said.

"We hope the EU side will listen more to the rational and objective voices, fully recognize the complementarity and cooperation potential of China and the EU in the EV sector, show flexibility and sincerity, and work with us to properly settle trade frictions through dialogue and consultation and promote the sound and steady growth of China-EU trade ties." Mao said. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
