Mexico is winning trade wars despite Trump's tariffs. Exports to the US are rising, replacing Chinese goods. Nearshoring proves business pragmatism beats political rhetoric.

"WHEN THE European Union increased tariffs on Chinese battery electric vehicles (EVs) in 2024, the logic was straightforward: raise prices and imports will fall. A study published by the Kiel Institute, a think-tank, estimated that higher levies would cause Chinese car exports to plunge by 25%. After more than a year, that forecast is wrong. According to China’s customs agency, car exports to Europe rose to nearly 1.2m in the 12 months to November, up by 26% from a year earlier (see chart 1). The data suggest that Europe’s failure to stem the rise of Chinese-made vehicles has less to do with weak tariffs than Chinese carmakers’ talent for steering around them.
Europe’s EV tariffs were designed to address what the European Commission calls the “unfair subsidisation” of Chinese producers by the state and restore a “level playing field”. But instead of imposing a uniform duty on all Chinese cars, the EU opted for a tailored approach. Extra tariffs were applied only to purely battery-powered vehicles, based on each carmaker’s estimated level of government support. On top of the bloc’s existing 10% import duty, BYD (China’s biggest producer of EVs) faced an additional 17%, Geely-owned brands 18.8% and SAIC 35.3%. Other Chinese carmakers were subject to tariffs of 20.7%. Hybrids were spared.
Rather than retreat, Chinese carmakers changed lanes, pivoting from EVs to hybrids, which combine electric motors with petrol engines. This shift is evident in the data. Whereas monthly Chinese EV sales to Europe have grown by 12% in the past year, exports of hybrids have surged by 155%, albeit from a low base (see chart 2). “It was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturers changed their strategy,” Beatrix Keim of Germany’s Centre for Automotive Research recently told Handelsblatt, a German newspaper. Hybrids are now the fastest-growing segment of China’s car exports..."

Well, look who decided to play nice... for a year. US and China are hitting pause on trade tariffs, tackling everything from rare earth metals to NVIDIA's AI chip tango. But don't pop the champagne just yet – TikTok's future is still a digital tumbleweed. Is this a real truce or just a tactical reload? #TechNews #TradeWars #AI #Semiconductors #Geopolitics

This morning on #NPR, I heard a mining executive say something to the effect of, "What our clients want is a clear and stable supply chain so that they can purchase technology containing rare Earth metals without geopolitical complications."
What do you see when you read between the lines of that quote?

Donald Trump is a fraud — now melting down over a Canadian ad that accurately quoted Ronald Reagan warning against tariffs.
Reagan stood for free trade. Trump stands for chaos, lies, and self-worship. 🇺🇸

Oh to be friends again...
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Ontario Premier Doug Ford playfully banter over a World Series wager, poking fun at Trump’s tariffs and Canada's restrictions on American liquor. Newsom promises California wine if the Dodgers win; Ford humorously retorts, “talk to your friend in the Oval Office,” referencing Trump’s tariffs. Once a Trump supporter, Ford now condemns tariffs as “unacceptable,” highlighting a shift from his earlier support. Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, continues to shadow Trump’s influence while engaging in clever diplomacy. Curious how this friendly rivalry masks bigger political tensions?
