How the sides differ Left sources focus on the EU quota's mechanics and its effect on Chinese market share; right sources focus on surging Chinese car exports.

The European Commission has confirmed it will limit hybrid electric vehicle imports from China to 350,000 cars a year. Both sides link the cap to rising Chinese vehicle exports. The left-leaning report says Brussels used WTO rules to impose the quota quickly, that imports have soared over the past two years, and that the cap would halve Chinese market share to 3%. It also notes the VW boss backs the plan. The right-leaning report says China's passenger car exports rose 64% in September from a year earlier, as automakers lean on exports amid sluggish domestic sales.
