No. Actually the really smart play is to raise export tariff Chinese EV technology and products to US and subside ICE tech + component exports to the US
This should help lower US' ICE car prices and increase their EV car prices. This would instantly delay it's EV adoption and thus development of its EV industry and all other related electrification-industries. Meanwhile China would hop on the EV and electrification train and leave US in the dust by enjoying electrification benefits throughout the country and across all the industries
You don't need to work hard to counter-punch, you can instead beat him down by giving him a bunch of free ICE stuff.
Work smart, not hard.
I don't think there's much to be done at the port without the railway link to take care of the cargo. But the railway is being built, so once chabahar is connected to the rest of the country, large scale transport to Russia can commence.
You can use exactly the same arguments as what you use against the port at Gwadar. Why not simply expand Karachi, which wouldn't require building a railway line through a remote region with a terrorism problem?

Biden's tariffs are all about the election. Trump said he was going to slap 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Biden beat him to it. Europe will follow the US because that's what they do best. I'm skeptical that China's retaliation will be reciprocal.
The rest of the world clearly sees the US unable to compete and forced to retreat into its small garden with protectionism, bloc confrontation, ideological dogmatism, while it begrudgingly cedes the mantle of global leadership to China, which is becoming increasingly self-confident and the new champion of globalization and free trade.
I think EV is adoption is pretty much going down in the West, especially in the US due US companies treating EV cars as priced luxury cars, lack of infrastructure and other issues. This tariffs could be the last nail in the coffin because very low prices could be the only thing that will make consumers to buy EVs. Now companies like the few US EVs companies don't have cut prices as much and ICE cars manufacturers don't have to get into EVs anymore of they don't face the threat of much cheaper electric cars.
Remarkable! Now I understand why he became a diplomat instead of following his dream to become a musician. It all makes sense now
Yes, Anwar even surprised me with his based foreign policy. He used be a darling of the NED. But nowadays, he is being attacked by the NED media and NGOs in Malaysia quite regularly. Its a good indication that he is not a Western puppet.
Nevertheless, Anwar is currently PM of a coalition government. Some sections of his coalition government are still corrupt and racist. This weakens his hand, impeding him from truly carrying out his vision to reform Malaysia. Its all because of democracy. Most of the Malay majority in Malaysia are still clinging onto the old politics of Malay Muslim supremacy and affirmative action for their race. They are the main reason why Malaysia can never move forward.

It's not just the Americans who are like this. Give these people a "big baddie" and then control them just as you wish, only this time China happened to be the enemy. It was the Middle East, the Muslims at the start of the century, and now it became China.
I'm not saying there's a right or wrong side, but that's unfortunately the truth.
