China își extinde influența asupra industriei auto europene. Oficialii UE avertizează asupra „provocării deceniului”

Chinese auto component manufacturers are quietly increasing their influence in European supply chains by acquiring local suppliers, aiming to strengthen their presence amid rising opposition to Chinese exports. Since the mid-2000s, Chinese companies have invested in over 130 European auto component producers, particularly in Germany and France. These acquisitions have raised concerns among European officials about potential shifts in the European auto parts market. The EU has recently imposed additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers following an investigation into state subsidies. European component manufacturers face pressure to adapt to the rapid development of Chinese firms, as many are struggling financially, making them attractive targets for Chinese investors.
