The European Commission chief said she was “convinced that if the competition is fair” from China, then Europe “will have thriving durable economies”. But she said the “imbalances” caused by state support for Chinese industry leading to cut-cost products threatened jobs in Europe, and that was “a matter of great concern”. “Europe will not waver from making tough decisions needed to protect its economy and security,” she said.
And if imported goods have cheap prices due to ignoring labor rights, worker safety and environmental protection it is acceptable… This is hypocrite and really does not deserve further comments.
That’s fine but like you said, nothing else is being targeted. Out of all the products, they specifically target the ones leading to a greener, less oil dependant society.
You were asking why it’s being targeted and it’s specifically not because they are ignoring labor rights, worker safety or environmental protections.
