Don't think the labeling is a major issue. China has many Turkic cultures and Turkic nations within it's state, not to be confused with Turkish. Just as Turkey itself has many European cities and Greek cultures.
That's a good observation. If I'm not mistaken, the Ottomans were rising and at their peak when they were still Asian biologically and culturally, and once they began adopting European culture and interbreeding with Europeans, the decline started.Ironically, janissaries were often european christian boys enslaved to serve muslim turkish rulers and now, the role is reversed!
Turkey imposes 40% tariff on vehicle imports from China
The additional Turkish tariff will be set at a minimum of $7,000 per vehicle, with effect from July 7, a presidential decision published in the country's Official Gazette showed.
"An additional tariff will be imposed on import of conventional and hybrid passenger vehicles from China in order to increase and protect the decreasing share of domestic production," trade ministry said.
In 2023, Turkey imposed additional tariffs on electric vehicle imports from China and brought some regulations regarding EV maintenance and services.
The government is encouraging more production and exports to reduce the chronic current account deficit, which stood at $45.2 billion last year.
I think the Turkish fm went to China to talk about this. It is fine if Turkey wants to shut their markets to imports, Chinese companies are allowed and infact are being encouraged by the leaders to setup factories. Turks gets jobs, China gets profits, its win win
One thing that always holds true is that nature operates on a functional balance, and any time something no longer functions a new system balance will be generated; this is no less true for human politics as it is for things in the natural world. A corollary to that point is that the critical elements in the generation of a new state of balance will be placed in the necessary positions to do so; this also means that, in the human political-economic context, China will be the effective standard bearer of a new state of balance because they are the ones with the means to actually fulfill that role, and this operates independently of intentions or desire for either themselves or external parties.
