China has called on the European Union to postpone planned tariffs on Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles, according to state media reports. The request comes as both economic powers attempt to navigate complex trade relations.

The Chamber of Commerce representing Chinese businesses in the EU issued a statement expressing deep dissatisfaction with the European Union's approach. The chamber has accused the EU of promoting "trade protectionism" through these impending tariffs.

With these developments, tensions may rise in the already delicate trade landscape between China and the EU, as both strive to protect their domestic interests while encouraging international trade partnerships.
