VM survey on China tariffs: Clearly undecided

Neck-and-neck race in our current survey, with high participation: The question of tariffs apparently concerns our community as much as it does us. And leaves them equally divided. "Are the EU's electric car tariffs against China the right path?" we asked. And the razor-thin, relative majority of 46 percent of the 151 participants decided: "No, they provoke counter-tariffs and also affect German manufacturers. The market regulates it; so far, Chinese e-cars have been more slow sellers" (70 votes). Only 9 percent positioned themselves in the middle, believing: "Maybe, at least temporarily, the measure is necessary to create fair competition conditions." (13 votes) And with a clear "Yes, absolutely, the Chinese manufacturers are massively funded by state money, no chance for domestic manufacturers to compete," 45 percent responded (68 votes).
