The European Union's decision to impose tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles dominated the day's news cycle. Early reports indicated the likelihood of approval, which was confirmed by midday. The move sparked immediate reaction from China's Ministry of Commerce, vowing to safeguard Chinese enterprises' interests. This development occurs against the backdrop of China's ongoing efforts to stimulate its economy, particularly in the housing market and consumer spending during the National Day holiday. Simultaneously, Chinese media continued to emphasize patriotic themes surrounding the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. In technology news, Chinese scientists claimed a world first in terahertz wireless communication, while concerns about employment persisted with the government issuing 24 new measures to boost job opportunities.
