If electric cars can help us move towards a greener future\, why do countries sometimes make foreign ones ha rder to buy? Should consumers have access to affordable cars\, or should g overnments protect local industries and jobs? Join Emile\, director of ope rations at the Canadian Chamber in Shanghai\, for a discussion about the e lectric vehicle race\, with China at the centre of the conversation. We’ ll explore how innovation\, environmental ambitions and national interests meet... and why a car can become much more than a consumer choice. Togeth er\, we’ll consider the competing priorities of consumers\, carmakers an d governments\, comparing the arguments for open competition and protectio n. When does supporting an industry encourage innovation\, and when might it hold progress back? Who benefits from trade barriers\, who pays the pri ce\, and what could these choices mean for the future of transport and int ernational trade? No knowledge of cars\, economics or trade policy is nece ssary: the background will be explained\, and all perspectives are welcome . Expect an accessible\, thoughtful conversation that helps you look beyon d the headlines and understand the bigger decisions behind what we drive. 中国在电车领域的崛起，正在怎么改变它跟其他国家的 关系：是贸易伙伴，是竞争对手，还是两个都是？如果 电动车能帮我们走向一个更绿的未来，为什么有些国家 还要让外国车更难买？消费者应该能买到便宜的车，还 是政府应该保护本地的产业和工作？跟着 Emile 来聊一场 关于电动车竞赛的讨论吧。他是上海加拿大商会的运营 总监，而这场讨论的中心就是中国。我们会聊聊创新、 环保野心和国家利益是怎么碰在一起的……以及为什么 一辆车可以远远不只是一个消费选择。 我们会一起看消 费者、车企和政府各自那些互相打架的优先事项，比较 一下支持开放竞争和保护主义的理由。什么时候支持一 个产业能鼓励创新，什么时候又可能拖慢进步？贸易壁 垒谁受益、谁买单，这些选择对交通和国际交易的未来 又意味着什么？不懂车、不懂经济、不懂贸易政策都没 关系：背景会讲清楚，欢迎所有不同看法。这会是一场 好懂又有想法的对话，帮你越过新闻标题，看懂我们开 什么车背后那些更大的决定。 DTSTAMP:20261011T001553Z LOCATION:静安区\, 大田路129弄1-1号嘉发大厦A栋\, Shanghai SUMMARY:The Electric Car Race: Politics\, Business\, China & The Planet END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
