Professor David Bailey
By Professor David Bailey
David Bailey unpacks why the EU have imposed significant tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and explores whether they will have the desired effect.
The European Union (EU) recently took a bold step by imposing tariffs of up to 35.3% on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) imported from China, on top of existing 10% tariffs. The move, framed as a countermeasure against what the EU perceives as unfair competition through heavy Chinese subsidies, will have big ramifications for global trade, environmental policy, and the rapidly developing BEV market.
The EU’s decision stems from concerns that Chinese BEV manufacturers have for years received significant state subsidies, allowing them to produce vehicles at something like a 30-40% cost advantage as compared with European automakers. Chinese industrial policy support is thought to have run to hundreds of billions over recent decades across batteries and BEVs, enabling Chinese firms to build experience, reduce costs, scale up and push ahead on battery innovation. China might ask Europe why it did not do something similar.
Most recently, Chinese firms have invested heavily in next-generation battery technology, including solid-state batteries and cobalt-free options, while

Interview A Glorious History: How print and papermaking unions were Britain's labour movement pioneers
A GLORIOUS History, Tony Burke and Ann Field’s new history of the print and papermaking unions of Britain and Ireland, is a glorious spectacle.
The book — launched tonight at the Marx Memorial Library — is a beauty to behold with its reproductions, mostly courtesy of the library’s own Printworkers’ Collection, of print union certificates, posters and photographs of workers in struggle.
Arranged thematically rather than chronologically, the book briskly runs you through interrelated themes like the wages struggle, women’s struggle for equal pay and representation and international solidarity.
“That’s to make it easier to read,” Field explains when I meet her and Burke to discuss the book. “Previous histories have been written, some of them are super, but they’re all tribal — written from the perspective exclusively of the bookbinders, or of the London compositors.”
With so many different specialised unions springing up for particular aspects of printing and publishing and a centuries-long process of evolution and amalgamation, a chronological history might end up “being like the first chapters of the Bible — so-and-so begat so-and-so,” Field points out.
“What we
