This is how China puts Europe on a leash
Silent and productive, the Chinese in summer explodes the Russian car market at +131.5%. Now, he is working hard to get his hands on Europe, with batteries for the cars.
Attention, it is true that the save the date for the electric transition is approaching. It is also true that with the advent of the conflict the EU was astute in freeing itself from dependence on gas from Russia, thanks to China.
But, the anticipation of Reuters it is the release of a mine, anticipating the document prepared by the Spanish presidency of the EU, which will be on the table of the next European Council.
China’s golden age?
The Tang Dynasty is considered by many historians to be the golden age of the Chinese empire. Here, history could be repeated according to the document seen by Reuters.

A hot agenda
The European Commission will put forward proposals on its plate to reduce the risk of Europe’s excessive dependence on China.
And someone is already wondering: how could all this be stopped?
Again as reported by Reuters, with the need for diversification towardsAfrica and Latin America.
Again, as Reuters writes, the document emphasizes that due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind, Europe will need ways to store energy to meet its goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
The document also states: “This target will cause demand for lithium-ion batteries to skyrocketfuel and electrolytic cells, which is expected to will multiply between 10 not 30 times in the coming years.”
Let us always remember that That e di battery China is the world’s largest producer. “Without implementing strong measures, by 2030 the European energy ecosystem could have a dependence on China of a different nature, but with a similar severity, to that it had on Russia before the invasion of Ukraine,” as reported in the document.
Towards 2030
Could Europe have miscalculated?
The doubt arises, given that the Chinese for the production of lithium batteries and fuel cells, of great importance for the operation of electric cars, smartphones and storage systemsis a strong leader.
Above all, the hypothesis feared in the document would risk triggering another unprecedented drain on the sector, as is already happening with high fuel prices.
Yes, the EU has freed itself from Russia when it comes to gas supplies, but the choice is weighing heavily on the wallets of numerous nations, including Italy.
