The two countries have recently conducted negotiations to see if they could stop harming their respective import markets with prohibitive fees and other protectionist measures.
The talks were led by Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce of China, and Robert Habeck, Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs of Germany. In the end, China agreed to lower the import fees imposed on large-displacement cars made in Europe. The government of the country had previously raised the fee to 25% for all vehicles with engines sized 2.5 liters and larger.
In turn, Germany is expected to leverage its position as the economic leader of the EU to talk the union out of imposing extreme import tariffs on electric vehicles made in China
