Xi Jinping&#8216;s China has unveiled a significant hike in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, intensifying the ongoing trade war between the world&#8217;s two biggest economies.
What Happened: On Wednesday, China declared that it will raise its reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods to 84% from the previous 34% from April 10, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3305873/china-fires-back-stern-rebuke-trumps-tariff-escalation?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> the South China Morning Post. 
This move comes in the wake of an intensifying trade conflict between the U.S. and China. This comes after the latest U.S. tariff hike — which brings levies on Chinese goods to more than 100% — took effect at the start of April 9.
In response to the new U.S. tariffs, the Ministry of Commerce not only filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization but also added six American companies to its unreliable-entity list. Additionally, it imposed export controls on 12 U.S. firms, prohibiting Chinese companies from supplying them with dual-use items—products that can serve both civilian and military purposes.
"China will firmly defend its interests, multilateral trade system and international economic order," stated the Chinese finance ministry online.

Why It Matters: This announcement comes on the heels of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44704005/trumps-104-tariff-on-chinese-imports-sends-stock-futures-plunging-dow-falls-over-500-points">104% tariff on Chinese imports</a>, which sent stock futures plunging and major indexes to significant lows. 
Despite the escalating trade war, many U.S. companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44700937/us-companies-stick-with-china-as-trump-tariffs-take-effect-report">have chosen to stick </a>with their operations in China, viewing it as a strategic value. A report commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation revealed that a majority of surveyed firms still see value in maintaining or expanding their presence in China, even as they increasingly view it as their biggest geopolitical risk.
This escalating trade conflict is likely to have far-reaching implications on the global economy, and all eyes are on how this situation will unfold in the coming days.
During the U.S. premarket session, U.S.-listed Chinese stocks traded mixed. Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) were in the red, while Xpeng Inc.

Xi Jinping Hits Back: China Raises Tariffs On US Goods To 84%, Doubling Down On Trade War

As smart driving features trickle down to budget cars, the balance of power is shifting to automakers and away from their technology suppliers
China's autonomous driving industry is undergoing a major power shift. As "smart driving equality" emerges as the dominant narrative, a quiet revolution is underway — transitioning the industry from one limited to luxury cars to one with mainstream capabilities across the entire automotive sector.
Major Chinese automakers like&nbsp;BYD&nbsp;(1211.HK; 002594.SZ),&nbsp;NIO&nbsp;(NIO.US; 9866.HK),&nbsp;XPeng&nbsp;(XPEV.US; 9868.HK) and AITO are no longer confining their advanced autonomous driving functions to flagship models. To the contrary, features like navigation on autopilot (NOA), automated parking and city pilot are being rapidly rolled out across mid- and lower-end models priced below 200,000 yuan ($27,400).
While not the first to do so, BYD's launch of its high-level DiPilot system on models costing below 100,000 yuan at the beginning of this year marked a turning point—confirming that the era of smart driving equality had truly arrived.
"In the automotive sector, we believe that full-scale intelligentization will strengthen the global leadership of Chinese brands," said BYD founder Wang Chuanfu. "This is a show of confidence from China's auto industry, and reflects the confidence of Chinese technology."
Historically, high-level autonomous driving was a high-margin business, relying on premium hardware like LiDAR, HD cameras, domain controllers, and powerful chips — typically reserved for luxury models. But as smart driving becomes more accessible, automakers are increasingly taking control of core technologies to protect their profit margins.
BYD's DiPilot, XPeng's XNGP,&nbsp;Li Auto's (LI.US; 2015.HK) AD Max, and Huawei's ADS 2.0 illustrate this shift. Automakers are building their own algorithm teams, mapping systems, and even managing data annotation and simulation training in-house. As a result, upstream suppliers are being pushed to the sidelines, downgraded from solution providers to low-margin parts vendors.
Suppliers like&nbsp;RoboSense&nbsp;(2498.HK) are now offering low-cost solid-state LiDAR and modular solutions.&nbsp;Hesai&nbsp;(HSAI.US) is co-developing customized sensors with automakers.
For suppliers, this is a fight for survival. Without core technologies or the ability to scale, many small and mid-sized vendors face an uphill battle, and are surviving only with razor-thin margins. Only those with system integration, algorithm coordination, and global delivery capabilities are likely to endure.
Behind the push to make advanced autonomous driving available to all lies a quiet industry reshuffling and a redistribution of power. The real winners will be those companies that can not only manufacture vehicles but also master the soul of intelligent driving.

Shares of Chinese stocks are trading lower amid concerns of upcoming additional US tariffs on China.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), reportedly made direct appeals to President Donald Trump over the weekend to reverse sweeping new tariffs.
What Happened: Despite being a key Trump adviser and significant political donor who contributed nearly $290 million to Republicans in last year&#8217;s elections, Musk&#8217;s intervention has been unsuccessful, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/07/musk-trump-tariffs/">reported</a> The Washington Post. Trump threatened Monday to add new 50% tariffs on Chinese imports on top of the 34% taxes announced last week.
The dispute marks the highest-profile <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44668830/we-want-fairness-white-house-trade-adviser-navarro-says-trump-administration-is-focused-on-non-tariff-cheating">disagreement between Trump&#8217;s closest advisers</a>. Musk publicly criticized White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on social media, writing, &#8220;A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing.&#8221;
In an interview with Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, Musk advocated for a &#8220;free trade zone&#8221; between Europe and the United States, saying, &#8220;At the end of the day, I hope it&#8217;s agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero-tariff situation.&#8221;
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s brother and Tesla board member Kimbal Musk also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677285/elon-musks-brother-and-tesla-board-member-kimbal-musk-calls-trump-most-high-tax-american-president-in-generations-warns-tariffs-are-a-permanent-tax-on-us-consumers">criticized Trump&#8217;s policies</a>, calling him &#8220;the most high tax American President in generations&#8221; and warning that tariffs create &#8220;a structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.&#8221;
Tesla stock closed at $233.29 on Monday, down more than 2.5%, and has lost over 38% of its value this year. Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44659926/dan-ives-cuts-tesla-target-to-315-slashes-apple-by-23-amid-tariff-fallout-warns-elon-musk-led-ev-maker-faces-darker-days-ahead">lowered Tesla&#8217;s price target from $550 to $315</a>, noting that &#8220;Tesla has essentially become a political symbol globally&#8230; and that is a very bad thing.&#8221;
The tariff policies have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44676213/trumps-tariffs-are-impacting-main-street-not-just-wall-street-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says">sparked broader market turmoil</a>, with BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink warning that economic impacts are &#8220;going to freeze more and more consumption.&#8221;
Tesla is outperforming rivals Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), NIO (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) in momentum, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. However, the Musk-led EV maker is showing a negative price trend across short to long-term timeframes. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) shares are trading lower Monday morning alongside several Chinese names as trade tensions rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-o">between the U.S. and China</a>.
What Happened: Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including 34% tariffs on China. 
China responded with 34% tariffs on U.S. imports, export curbs on some rare earths and restrictions on several U.S. organizations, per Reuters.
Trump&#8217;s 34% tariffs on China come after the President doubled tariffs on China from 10% to 20% earlier this year. Total tariffs on China now sit around 54%. 
&#8220;The U.S move is not in line with international trade rules, seriously undermines China&#8217;s legitimate and lawful rights and interests, and is a typical unilateral bullying practice,&#8221; China&#8217;s finance ministry reportedly said.

The response from China has deepened the trade war between the world&#8217;s two largest economies. Trump on Friday took a shot at China in a Truth Social post. 
Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114279915827492021">said</a>, &#8220;China played it wrong, they panicked &#8211; the one thing they cannot afford to do!&#8221;
Nio on Monday announced that it completed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/offerings/25/03/44511664/why-is-teslas-chinese-rival-nio-stock-diving-today">offering</a> announced at the end of March. The company said it offered and sold 136.8 million shares for HK$4.03 billion ($520 million) to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions.
Reuters also reported Monday morning that Chinese battery giant CATL is in talks to acquire a controlling stake in Nio&#8217;s power unit, which includes more than 3,000 battery swapping stations in China.
Nio announced last week that it delivered 15,039 vehicles in March, up 26.7% year-over-year. Total March deliveries consisted of 10,219 vehicles from the company's premium Nio brand and 4,820 vehicles from the company's ONVO brand.

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu defended his position on Wednesday that negative publicity surrounding CEO Elon Musk won&#8217;t harm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the medium term.
What Happened: &#8220;Many question our view that &#8216;bad press&#8217; related to Elon will not have a lasting influence on Tesla sales,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X. &#8220;Elon&#8217;s antics are very unlikely to damage the brand medium term (and they definitely help awareness!!).&#8221;
The analyst shared data showing significant drops in Tesla&#8217;s brand perception during 2022, including a 21-point decline in March and a 17-point drop in November, coinciding with Musk&#8217;s Twitter acquisition. Despite these metrics, Tesla&#8217;s quarterly deliveries grew steadily from 185,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to 485,000 by the fourth quarter of 2023.
Ferragu&#8217;s optimistic assessment comes amid recent challenges for the automaker. Tesla reported approximately 337,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2025, falling short of analyst expectations across all major markets. The disappointing results sent shares tumbling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">before recovering Wednesday</a>.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the figures &#8220;a disaster for the bulls&#8221; while maintaining an Outperform rating with a $550 price target. &#8220;The more political he gets with DOGE, the more the brand suffers, there is no debate,&#8221; Ives said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">referring to Musk&#8217;s role</a> in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Tesla stock rebounded over 5% in regular session on Wednesday following a Politico report suggesting Musk might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">step back from his government position in the coming weeks</a>. Musk dismissed the report as &#8220;fake news&#8221; on X, after which shares dipped 8.01% in after-hours trading.
The company&#8217;s stock has fallen as much as 33% since Trump&#8217;s January inauguration, with analysts attributing some decline to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">Musk&#8217;s political activities</a>, including his reported $20 million investment to defeat a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and endorsements of far-right parties in Europe.
Price Action: Tesla closed at $282.76 on Wednesday, gaining 5.33% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined 8.01% to $260.12.
Tesla stock has outperformed rivals Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Lucid Group Inc.

Tesla Brand Won't Suffer From Elon Musk's 'Antics,' Says Analyst Despite Delivery Miss, 8% Stock Drop In After-Hours Trading

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) announced the details of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44606521/tesla-first-quarter-2025-production-deliveries-deployments" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter production</a>, deliveries, and deployment on Wednesday. The stock fell after the disclosure.
The electric vehicle company produced 362,615 vehicles (including 345,454 Model 3/Y), down from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38047077/tesla-stock-dives-as-q1-deliveries-disappoint-but-ev-giant-reclaims-top-spot-from-chinese-rival" rel="noreferrer noopener">433,371 a year ago</a>.
It delivered 336,681 vehicles (323,800 Model 3/Y), down from 386,810 vehicles a year ago.

The company said that while the changeover of Model Y lines across all four of its factories led to the loss of several weeks of production in the first quarter, the ramp of the New Model Y continues to go well.
Tesla also deployed 10.4 GWh of energy storage products.
Tesla stock has plunged 32% year-to-date. The company&#8217;s U.S. registrations dropped 11% in January, while rivals like Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) saw a 44% surge.
Tesla&#8217;s EU registrations <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283118/tesla-loses-ground-in-us-ev-market-while-rivals-accelerate-ahead-in-january-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">halved in January</a> as brand sentiment and political backlash weigh on growth. Meanwhile, Musk&nbsp;announced that&nbsp;Tesla&nbsp;would double its vehicle production in the U.S. within two years.
Additionally, President Donald Trump transformed the White House to showcase Tesla vehicles in solidarity with&nbsp;his senior advisor and de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk and his company. Trump also&nbsp;purchased a Tesla Model S Plaid.
Musk has acknowledged the challenges of running his business while working with DOGE amid a massive decline in Tesla&#8217;s stock price.&nbsp;
Wedbush&nbsp;analyst Daniel Ives projected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/03/44519930/tesla-turmoil-analyst-pins-hope-new-era-robotics-fsd" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter deliveries</a> in the 355,000-360,000 range. That&#8217;s down ~7%, courtesy of demand softness in Europe, the U.S., and China.
Ives estimated that 30% of the very soft first-quarter delivery number is related to Tesla chief Elon Musk, the brand, and DOGE. About 70% is more timing and non-brand headwind issues.
Ives projected first-quarter revenue of $24.05 billion and EPS of 56 cents. He expects the first quarter to be the &#8220;low point.&#8221;
Tesla&#8217;s full self-driving technology, affordable vehicle launch, more Model 3/Y refreshes, and autonomous and robotics/Optimus technology improvements &#8220;set the stage for a new era of growth,&#8221; according to the analyst.
Price Action: TSLA stock is down 1.20% at $265.23 at the last check on Wednesday.

Tesla's Deliveries Slide In Q1 Amid Production Setbacks, Political Backlash

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in key European markets continued their downward trend in March, extending losses for a third consecutive month in multiple countries as the electric vehicle maker faces mounting challenges from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44599196/gene-munster-warns-teslas-q1-deliveries-will-be-ugly-expects-june-to-be-worse-before-gradual-recovery">Chinese competition and backlash</a> against CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s political activities.
What Happened: New Tesla registrations in France dropped 36.8%, Sweden fell 63.9%, and Norway slipped 1% compared to March 2024, according to official data. 
Denmark and the Netherlands saw even steeper declines of 65.6% and 61%, respectively, reported Reuters. First-quarter sales were down across all these markets, with quarterly declines ranging from 12.5% in Norway to 55.3% in both Sweden and Denmark.
Musk&#8217;s increasingly visible political activities, including support for far-right parties in Europe and his close alliance with U.S. President Donald Trump, appear to be alienating potential customers. 
This political stance has made Tesla vehicles and showrooms targets for vandalism, with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44555726/chamath-palihapitiya-claims-tesla-attacks-part-of-organized-effort-against-elon-musks-doge-role">cars burned and dealerships spray-painted</a> in Rome, Berlin, and Stockholm in recent days.
&#8220;We&#8217;re all embarrassed,&#8221; said Luca Del Bo, president of Italy&#8217;s Tesla owners club. &#8220;We&#8217;d all be happy of course if Musk just went back to just being a CEO.&#8221;

Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster predicts <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44599196/gene-munster-warns-teslas-q1-deliveries-will-be-ugly-expects-june-to-be-worse-before-gradual-recovery">approximately 355,000 deliveries</a>, down about 8% year-over-year and below the analyst consensus of 377,592. Prediction markets on Kalshi give just a 56% probability of Tesla exceeding 350,000 deliveries.
The company&#8217;s European market share has declined, with brands like BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and other Chinese EV makers gaining ground.
Price Action: Tesla Inc. closed at $268.46 on Tuesday, gaining 3.59% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged down 0.14% to $268.08. Year to date, Tesla has fallen 29.22%.

Tesla's European Sales Decline For 3rd Consecutive Month Amid China Competition, CEO Elon Musk's Political Controversies

Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster is bracing for disappointing Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) delivery numbers when the electric vehicle maker reports first-quarter figures on Wednesday, warning investors that the coming months could be even more challenging.
What Happened: &#8220;The March number is likely going to be ugly. The June will likely be worse. Then things begin to slowly improve,&#8221; Munster wrote Tuesday on X, signaling a dramatic reversal for a company that once projected 20-30% growth.
The Tesla bull anticipates first-quarter deliveries around 355,000 units, down approximately 8% year-over-year, significantly below analyst consensus estimates of 377,592. His projection aligns with prediction markets, where Kalshi traders give only a 56% probability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/04/44593138/tesla-q1-deliveries-preview-analysts-forecast-377k-but-kalshi-traders-predict-a-miss">Tesla exceeding 350,000 deliveries</a>.

Why It Matters: Despite the near-term pessimism, Munster maintains his long-term optimism, citing Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;physical AI&#8221; competitive advantage through initiatives like Optimus robots and robotaxis. &#8220;Ultimately, I think investors are going to get behind that,&#8221; he said, noting Tesla&#8217;s $37 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year">cash position provides ample runway</a>.
The anticipated delivery decline comes amid concerns about CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s increasing political involvement affecting brand perception.
