China has new rules on EU brandy – level 1

China has new rules on EU brandy

11-10-2024 15:00

China is making new rules for brandy from the EU, especially brands from France like Hennessy.

This happens when the EU decides to put new taxes on electric cars from China. China says that brandy from the EU is hurting its brandy makers. France thinks that these new rules are not fair. France wants to work with the EU to solve the problem.

China is also thinking about putting more taxes on big cars from Germany. Last year, German car companies sell many cars with large engines to China. These changes show that China and the EU are having problems with business. The situation is getting worse, mainly with France and Germany.

Difficult words: rule (what you can or cannot do), tax (money which people and companies pay to the government), engine (a machine which turns energy into movement).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What is France's response to China's new rules on brandy from the EU and how does it plan to address the issue?
