In an interview with China News Network, Daryl Guppy, former board member of the Australia China Business Council and Australian ACBC delegate at the Silk Road Chamber of International Commerce, said the new tariffs on EV cars and other products from China imposed by the U.S. government and the hyped-up China’s “overcapacity” is part of an overall American strategy to pull China back, to prevent China's development, and to halt its progress.

Guppy further noted that many countries are open to exports from China because of their high quality and reasonable cost. “Unfortunately, what we are seeing in a global basis is an increase in trade protection barriers,” according to Guppy, “it is unfair and unreasonable, because they don't care about overall climate objectives and the fact that Chinese EVs are better.”

“We have to be able to stand up to these protectionist policies which are increasingly being adopted by Western countries,” Guppy concluded.

顾比进一步表示，很多国家十分欢迎中国出口的产品，是因为其物美价廉。当前全球形势下，欧美国家的做法是在筑高贸易壁垒，既不公平，也不合理。他认为，一些国家不关心整体气候战略目标，也不会承认中国生产的新能源汽车更好这一事实。因此，各国必须积极反对这种贸易保护主义的做法。(陈天浩)
