At Auto Shanghai, a dynamic meeting point for global auto enthusiasts, industry leaders gathered to discuss the latest trends driving innovation. Among the voices was Stefan Mecha, CEO of Volkswagen China Passenger Cars Brand, who firmly stated that steep US tariffs only hinder the progress of free trade. 🚗✨
Mecha explained that imposing heavy tariffs creates barriers that slow down the exchange of technology and design, ultimately affecting consumer choice and market growth. His message resonated with not just the traditional car makers but also with young professionals, entrepreneurs, and trendsetters who believe in the power of open markets.
This call for open trade reflects a broader vision for a future where collaboration replaces protectionism. With vibrant discussions echoing across Auto Shanghai, it’s clear that innovation and global cooperation are the true engines powering today’s interconnected economy.
