New Directives from China
In a surprising move, Chinese EV manufacturers have received strong recommendations from the government emphasizing the importance of keeping vital EV technology domestically. This comes as manufacturers like BYD and SAIC plan to establish factories abroad while aiming to avoid punitive tariffs on China EVs.
The Push to Localize Manufacturing
- Beijing encourages producing key vehicle components in China and assembling them overseas.
- The Ministry of Commerce is promoting these measures to protect proprietary technology.
Global Expansion Efforts
- Investment plans in countries such as Turkey and India have been scrutinized by Chinese officials.
- BYD’s factory in Turkey, projected to employ around 5,000 workers, symbolizes the international outreach of China EVs.
This initiative showcases China’s ongoing battle to leverage its electric vehicle prowess while navigating the complexities of global trade.
