ABSTRACT

This paper primarily examines the anti-subsidy investigation conducted by the European Union (EU) on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) which based on BASR. It provides a detailed analysis of the entire process of the anti-subsidy investigation within the established legal framework of the EU and evaluates the official findings presented by the EU. Based on this analysis, the paper further discusses potential policy improvements that China can consider in response to the investigation results, as well as strategies and approaches that could be adopted to address similar challenges in the future.
