- Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz warned Chinese automakers could erode US margins unless tariffs and market-access rules remain.
- Chinese vehicles run 30 to 40 percent cheaper than competing models in Italy, Spain, and France despite EU tariffs.
- Chinese-branded cars made up more than 9 percent of EU sales in the first half of the year.
