How does the EU's 2035 regulation exacerbate the challenges posed by Chinese competition?

The EU's regulation, while aiming for environmental benefits, inadvertently strengthens China's position by creating a massive demand for EVs that China is uniquely positioned to meet affordably. This is highlighted by the price difference between VW's upcoming ID.Polo (€25,000) and BYD's Dolphin Surf (€18,000), and the fact that the majority of new models at IAA 2025 are electric vehicles from Chinese brands.
