German officials blame EU as Chinese car sales set to top one million by 2026

German officials have openly criticised the European Union, accusing Brussels of policies that favour Chinese automakers. At the same time, Chinese car manufacturers are projected to sell more than one million vehicles in Europe by 2026. The sales forecast comes from recent market data cited by Euronews. German leaders say the EU’s tariff and regulatory approach gives an unfair edge to the fast‑growing Chinese sector. They argue that tighter rules are needed to protect domestic producers. The projected figure of over one million units marks a significant milestone for Chinese brands in the European market. This update follows earlier coverage of the same trend, highlighting rising tensions between Germany and EU officials over the issue.
