"China accuses Biden of violating WTO rules with US battery supply chain exclusion"

China has criticized the Biden administration's plans to limit Chinese content in batteries eligible for electric vehicle (EV) tax credits, stating that it violates international trade norms and disrupts global supply chains. The plans would make investors in the US EV supply chain ineligible for tax credits if they use critical materials from China or other countries deemed a "Foreign Entity of Concern." China's dominant position in the global battery supply chain has raised concerns among US and European officials, leading to investigations into unfair state subsidies. Analysts question whether the US and EU measures match the scale of the risk posed by China's position in global battery supply chains.
