China Exports One Million Cars Per Month Despite Tariffs
In June 2026, China exported over one million cars for the first time in a single month, increasing by 71% year-over-year. This surge is attributed to rising demand for electric vehicles driven by higher fuel prices due to the Iran war and global green development trends. Despite EU tariffs of up to 35%, Chinese automakers are adapting strategies such as absorbing costs or shifting to hybrid models.
