中国强调对外开放、 反对保护主义升级。 达沃斯世界经济论坛首日，中国副总理何立峰表示，中国从未刻意追求贸易顺差，将扩大进口、扩大内需，并强调对外开放与反对保护主义升级。 他在演讲中也正面回应了外界对中国"补贴驱动、产能过剩"的批评，称中国的发展"主要通过改革、开放与创新实现"，而不是政府补贴，并试图用 进口与消费侧数据反证中国并非只靠出口拉动： 他表示过去五年中国经济年均增长约5.4%，累计进口超过15万亿美元的货物和服务，中国不仅愿意做"世界工厂"，也更愿意做"世界市场"，将更 积极扩大进口。 这一表态直接对准欧盟等贸易伙伴在电动汽车等行业对中国补贴与不公平竞争的指控。 法规生效后约12个月，公共采购的电池系统需要在欧盟境内组装，并对电池管理系统BMS等关键部件提出欧盟来源要求； 约两年后要求进一步收紧，电池系统及更多核心部件（包括电芯）需要达到更高的欧盟本地化比例。 公共采购对锂电的影响不一定体现在电芯本体，而更可能落在 储能电站、充电网络、工厂数字化系统 等"带数据、带网络、带运维"的场景。 此前在1月12日，欧盟委员会发布指导文件，允许中国电动汽车出口商就最低进口价等提交价格承诺，以替代部分反补贴关税 ...
