9月初，50余家来自中国的汽车企业和供应链企业在德国慕尼黑车展中积极亮相，博得欧洲市场关注。当地媒体、社交平台乃至产业界，都出现了诸如“中国电动车表现超预期”“有科技感、极强竞争力”等赞扬之声，但与之相伴的也有浓重的危机感——欧洲汽车行业可能面临挑战甚至危机。
In early September, over 50 Chinese auto and supply chain companies made a strong showing at the Munich Auto Show in Germany, attracting attention from the European market. Local media, social platforms, and even the industry itself have praised their performance with comments such as "Chinese electric vehicles exceed expectations" and "they are technologically advanced and highly competitive." However, this praise is accompanied by a palpable sense of crisis - the European auto industry may face significant challenges or even a crisis.
车展刚落幕，当地时间2023年9月13日，欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩（Ursula von der Leyen）在欧洲议会发表演讲时首次透露，欧盟委员会正在启动一项针对中国电动汽车的反补贴调查。10月4日，欧盟宣布对产自中国的纯电动汽车正式开始反补贴调查，调查期预计不超过13个月。
Just after the close of the auto show, on September 13, 2023 local time, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, revealed for the first time in a speech to the European Parliament that the Commission was initiating an anti-subsidy investigation targeting Chinese electric vehicles. On October 4, the EU announced it had officially begun its anti-subsidy investigation into pure electric vehicles produced in China. The investigation is expected to last no longer than 13 months.
