The Chinese car brands, which cannot move production to Europe, will suffer so much from the new tariffs that they will withdraw from Europe and thus Denmark.

In fact, it has already happened. Officially, however, Great Wall Motors is withdrawing not because of increased duties, but because sales are going worse than expected. Back in May, it emerged that the brand has closed its head office in Germany and fired all employees.
