(FILES) Cognac winegrowers gather before a demonstration against the threat of Chinese taxes, in Gensac-la-Pallue, on September 17, 2024. Frustrated cognac producers in southwestern France are growing increasingly anxious over the looming threat of Chinese tariffs on European brandy, a move industry representatives worry could force French liquor from the Chinese market. Some 800 protestors riding on tractors and carrying signs gathered in France's southwestern town of Cognac on September 17, 2024, demanding a delay to an upcoming European Union vote to impose duties on Chinese electric vehicles. This protest,the first since 1998, comes after Beijing refused to rule out future tariffs following an anti-dumping investigation into brandy imported from the European Union. The probe was launched months after the EU undertook an investigation into Chinese electric vehicle (EV) subsidies. (Photo by Thibaud MORITZ / AFP) (Photo by THIBAUD MORITZ/AFP via Getty Images)
