Say never no. You can’t deny the potential risk Ccp will blackmail Germany like how Putin blackmails Germany with zero gas export what we seeing now.
Russian automotive industry HEAVILY depends on the west. For example, the first Lada coming out of the production line post sanction does not have airbag, anti-lock brake and cruise control.
You can't buy a new volvo in Russia for $40,000........By the way......
The problem is that the Chinese in general respect the Germans too much. This attitude has brought the Germans to have contempt and evil wishes for China and Chinese which are rampant among German politicians, media and netizens on German internet sites regarding Chinese matters. The best examples are Germans Trump and Adrian Zenz, Trump who is pretty much responsible for starting the world wide or at least Western world anti-China phenomenon in the last few years, and Adrian Zenz, the German Chinese scholar who single-handedly fabricated the story that Han Chinese are committing genocides and other atrocities against the Uyghurs in China and spread such despicable lies to the world to hate Chinese. The Germans are evil, they are trying hard to paint China as the new evil empire similar to Nazi Germany or militarist Imperial Japan in today's world so to white wash their country's war crime sins in WW II. The same logic applies to Italy and Japan, the other two WW II war criminals. Pompeo and Pelosi are both Italians who are key figures also spearheading the anti-China movement in America and the West to a large extent. The Japanese have been spreading the fabricated China threat to the world in the past few decades and they have started the anti-China QUAD and US Indo Pacific strategy to encircle and destroy China. These three WW II war criminal countries' key people are bent to destroy China by willingly want to detonate WW III to take revenge on their loss of WW II on China and then the world. Germans are evil and have lots hatred for China, they don't deserve Chinese respect, so are Japanese and Italians. If Germany and China relationship for the time being isn't enemy like and two countries traded a lot, it's purely for cold blooded self national interests on German part.
Before the war broke out, Russia's tariff was 25%. Now it's 46%.
Chinese are capitalists. Money matters. More money matters more. I am not badmouthing chinese, Vietnamese are no different. They will squeeze the Russians until the last penny. Does Putin have a choice? No. After that, Russia going burst, Ccp will provide loans with no strings attached. As usual.
46% tariff would not account for 100% price increase.
It's like highway robbery.......But at least when it was expensive and it was European the Russian can complaint about it as Russia is not the all weather brother the Chinese proclaim, this, I know for a fact, upset a lot of Russia who saw Chinese as a friend and are helping out in the time of needed. Instead, they have this.....
Chinese automobile manufacturers must hand over their cars to local Russian businessmen, who then sell them. Moreover, prices in Russia are generally rising, which is a social phenomenon, not an individual case. So I think the problem lies with the retailers in Russia.
Yes that’s correct. The high tariffs don’t explain the price hike.
Russia has bigger problem. Yes Russia makes cars however factories making domestic cars are totally collapsing. Even if they can make Russians don’t buy because cheap quality. Russia imports cars however getting no new western cars.
It's not dealer skim off 30% on top of whatever RRP is. It's nearly 100% increase, if a car doesn't sell, not only the dealer suffers, Geely suffer too because they have to pay for the car they made, which mean dealer going that deep would be crossing the hair behind Geely back. Those dealers are not going to be able to do that unless Geely okay with that.
Chinese workers are eating the lunch of western workers? Why need to decouple? Lol..
