Next to dumping duties on e-bikes, the European Union has now also re-imposed such extra levies on the import of regular bicycles from China. They come as President Trump inflicted even higher tariffs on the US import out of China.

But there’s more going on. Like Cambodia which could lose its EU duty-free export status. Or Vietnam that now has its Free Trade Agreement with the EU in place.

All this transforms trade flows. Is it also transforming the Taipei Cycle Show and Taiwan’s industry? Bike Europe is about to find out.
