Geely Leads Six–Month Chinese Car Sales as EV Dominance Grows

Autohome data show Geely’s Xingyuan electric hatchback is the top seller in the six months through July, with Tesla’s Model Y second and BYD’s best model slipping to fifth. VW is the only traditional foreign brand in the top 10. New energy vehicles now account for about 65.1% of July passenger-car sales (up from 54% a year earlier), though NEV sales for January–July are down 12.5% while overall passenger-car sales fall 20.3% over the period.

UK Buyers Flock to Chinese-Made Cars for Value and Tech

UK Buyers Flock to Chinese-Made Cars for Value and Tech

Chinese automakers are expanding in the UK, drawing buyers with strong value, fit and technology, while China’s auto exports grow globally. Brands like BYD and Geely are gaining traction in UK showrooms (e.g., Lipscomb Cars in Maidstone), helped by the absence of tariffs on plug-in hybrids and notable price gaps versus traditional automakers (BYD’s Seal U vs VW’s Tiguan PHEV). UK imports of Chinese-made cars topped 285,000 last year, as analysts note the market is shifting toward cheaper, well-equipped electrified models even as China’s domestic sales dip and exports rise (up 72% in H1 2026).

Hungary’s Szijjártó Moves to BYD, Spotlighting Europe-China Business Ties

Former Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó resigns from parliament to lead external relations and new business lines at BYD, as Prime Minister Péter Magyar attacks the move as lobbying for subsidies and foreign interests. The transfer underscores BYD’s European push, with Hungary slated to host a major production hub, and illustrates a broader trend of ex-politicians entering the automotive/tech sector in Europe (e.g., Christian Lindner’s upcoming role at Autoland AG).

EU Poised to Tax Chinese Plug-in Hybrids Amid Subsidy Backlash

The European Commission is reportedly preparing countervailing duties on Chinese plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) to offset subsidies, potentially adding to the existing 10% tariff on imports; PHEVs, previously exempt from extra duties, could face targeted duties on brands like BYD, Chery and SAIC as EU leaders weigh a final decision at the upcoming summit, following prior BEV tariffs since 2024.

US Expands China Military-Linked Blacklist to Alibaba, BYD and Baidu

The Pentagon expanded its annual list of Chinese military companies to include Alibaba, BYD and Baidu, widening a blacklist that could bar them from US defense contracts amid heightened US-China tensions. China condemned the move; Alibaba said there is no military basis and vowed legal action, while BYD and Baidu did not immediately comment. The list now includes 188 firms, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of China’s military–civil fusion and its impact on commerce and diplomacy.

BYD Outpaces Tesla in Europe as FSD Approval Hopes Rise

In Europe, BYD outsold Tesla in April by more than two-to-one across the EU, UK, and EFTA, with BYD up 115% year‑over‑year versus Tesla’s 47%. Year‑to‑date figures show a similar lead for BYD. Tesla bets its future in Europe on supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD); the Netherlands has granted approval for a supervised FSD version, with expected EU‑wide approval in the second or third quarter and a possible July regulator vote.
