By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This strategic move allows Chinese companies to bypass EU tariffs and establish a local manufacturing presence, thereby increasing their market share in Europe. The trend poses a significant challenge to European carmakers, who risk becoming dependent on Chinese technology and platforms while losing local jobs and supplier networks. AI
