Trump moves to reimpose 25% tariffs on steel & aluminum imports from all countries, ending exemptions for allies. Key difference from similar moves on Canada/Mexico/China: using Section 232 authority vs IEEPA. 1/

World’s largest EV battery maker files for Hong Kong listing CATL is one of several Chinese companies expected to list in the territory this year as activity revives

on.ft.com/4jMiC3P “CATL said it was aiming to raise funds in part to boost its international expansion plans, which include building a production site in Hungary. It also plans a joint venture in Spain with Stellantis and a project in Indonesia”

One Response to Trump’s Tariffs: Trade That Excludes the U.S. A growing number of countries, including American allies, are striking trade deals as the Trump administration erects a higher fence around its global commerce.

Exclusive: BYD brought hundreds of Chinese workers to Brazil on irregular visas Electric vehicle producer BYD brought hundreds of Chinese workers on irregular visas to build a factory in Brazil, a key labor inspector told Reuters on Tuesday, adding the company has pledged to comply with local labor laws for the workers remaining in the country.

Posted on LinkedIn about BYD’s troubles in Brazil as an example of the coming challenge for Chinese companies as they internationalize and firms offering their services to help Chinese companies enter new markets started posting in my replies 😂 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

UPDATE: Today is my first day at RAND's new China Research Center. I look forward to working with Jude Blanchette to expand RAND's research into new areas, especially relating to China's economy and US-China economic competition.

A common perception is that clean energy is replacing fossil fuels in developed economies where power demand is not growing fast or even at all, but cannot scale up fast enough to cover demand growth in rapidly developing countries.

Can you guess which five countries provide a counter-example?

Big increase in GM EV sales this year, despite discontinuing their previous best seller, the Bolt. Impressive work to scale the Ultium platform vehicles to >100k sales (key to getting to profitable per vehicle margins).

If I’m not mistaken, @gdp1985.bsky.social talked about the chain reaction of industrial policy and export controls in his recent Odd Lots interview, but I think @andreaghiselli.bsky.social is talking about something different—let us know if you figure it out!

Opinion | Germany Doesn’t Feel Like Germany Anymore The economically prosperous, socially cohesive and politically stable country is no longer itself.

This is so lazy: Germany, Europe, the West—even, have lots of problems but blaming it on the energy transition is really ideological. And plain wrong.

Thanks Jon!! You’re too kind!

It was a pleasure to join @kaiserkuo.bsky.social on his podcast to talk about my research! I’ve been a long time lister and really enjoyed the conversation!
