The European Commission shocked China on Wednesday by imposing duties of up to 38.1 percent on electric vehicle imports from July 4 — a level that was much higher than expected — potentially triggering a trade war at a time of great political uncertainty in Europe.The provisional duties, which come after a months-long investigation into Chinese state aid to its EV-makers, drew immediate condemnation from Beijing, which has already threatened retaliation against European farmers and plane makers and launched an anti-dumping probe targeting the French spirits industry.“When our partners breach the rules, we will assert our rights,” EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis said in a written statement shared with reporters.A senior EU official said Chinese EVs “are subsidized from mine to EU harbor,” because Beijing has pumped money into mining lithium, refining metals, steel-making, production of batteries and cars and shipping them to Rotterdam or Hamburg.In a first response, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU expressed its “shock, grave disappointment and deep dissatisfaction with this protectionist measure by the [European Commission]” and denounced the anti-subsidy investigation as a “witch hunt.”

The $230 million pier was installed amid the Israeli military advance in the city of Rafah and the closure of the two southern border crossings that were supplying most of the aid to the Gaza Strip. The maritime corridor between Cyprus and Gaza—and an ongoing airdrop campaign—was meant to supplement ground deliveries, which are cheaper and more efficient.But the hastily constructed pier was never designed to handle the Mediterranean Sea’s rough waters, which are expected to worsen over summer, and the logistics of delivering aid from the pier to the Gazan population proved vexing. The floating structure broke apart late last month after 10 days of operation, something defense officials privately described as all but inevitable, and some humanitarian organizations have all but given up making longer-term plans around the pier. After a week of repairs, the pier went back in place Saturday, only to be shut down again Sunday because of the rough waters, the Pentagon said. It reopened Tuesday. Key details hadn’t been fully sorted out days before the pier went into place, including how to ensure a steady stream of aid to Cyprus. Some private groups such as Fogbow, a private company made up of former U.S. government, military and United Nations officials, which bought 1,100 pallets of aid for Gaza, sought approvals to bring aid over the U.S. pier. The company has yet to receive permission.

I don't understand, isn't Gaza surrounded by majority Muslim nations? Aren't they supplying any aid?
