US urged to correct bias on EV makers

China has asked the United States to correct its discriminatory measures — which will exclude Chinese electric vehicles and relevant products from obtaining tax credits from next year — in line with World Trade Organization rules, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

The US has rolled out specific steps that discriminate against Chinese EV businesses and remove their products from the subsidy's purview, which is typically nonmarket oriented, He Yadong, a spokesman for the ministry, said at a news conference.

Such acts violate the basic principles of the WTO, stifle international trade and investment, and undermine the stability of the global industrial and supply chains, He said.
