Canada on Monday said would impose 100% import tariffs on China-made electric vehicles, as well as a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports from China. Canada said its EV, steel and aluminum industries face “unfair” competition from China, and the new measures seek to “level the playing field for Canadian workers.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/27/can...ort-tariffs-on-chinese-electric-vehicles.html Hum, wasn´t Canada meant to be a "liberally governed country"?
Why Canada didn't do super-unfair competition to compete with China's unfair competition? To stay ahead of the competition, you have to think a few steps ahead. Over the past few years, China's way of doing business hardly change; the government gives subsidies, factory is designed for mass production to reduce cost ... So it shouldn't surprise the world why their EV cars are so cheap. So if you want to compete with China's EV cars, you have to make your production super efficient, reduce COGS massively.... You have to use all sorts of tools to make your factory competitive eg DOE Design of Experiment 8D Discipline TPM total productive maintenance QC story, Pareto analysis, fishbone diagram ... FEA Finite Element Analysis (to design mega casting, to map out RMF rotating magnetic Field/EMF ....) etc etc etc Alternatively, make specialty products.
