We recognise the increase in Chinese automotive imports and continue to engage closely with UK automotive manufacturers to understand the impact on their interests. The UK will tailor any approach to the needs of our domestic industry. Any response will reflect the continued importance of maintaining the sector’s competitiveness and be proportionate and evidence based.
