4. The EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and large European car companies "went all out" to oppose it
On October 29, local time, the European Union announced the final results of the anti-subsidy investigation on electric vehicles in China, and decided to impose a five-year countervailing duty on electric vehicles imported from China. The EU's move sparked widespread opposition in Germany. People in the German auto industry generally believe that this will not only have a negative impact on EU-China exchanges and economic and trade cooperation, drag down the transformation and upgrading of the European auto industry, but also hinder the green transformation that Europe urgently needs to accelerate. German automotive industry insiders emphasize that the sustainable development of electric vehicles must rely on collaborative innovation on a global scale, rather than unilateral protectionist policies. As a major player in the electric vehicle market and innovation, strengthening cooperation with China and promoting wider market integration will help improve the competitiveness of European automakers and promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry.
5. Economists: The biggest impact of hurricanes in the United States may be in restaurants and retail
Economists are divided on the extent to which hurricanes have dragged down job growth, with estimates ranging from 25,000 to 70,000. Stephen Stanley, chief U.S. economist at Santander Capital Markets, said, “Typically, when a business closes due to a natural disaster, salaried workers are still paid, but part-time workers are not. As a result, the greatest impact is likely to occur in industries with a high proportion of part-time jobs, such as restaurants and retail. However, it can be difficult to detect unless the impact is significant.”
