    This French station is completely biased against China. Tesla's factory in Germany encountered all kinds of hindrances and resentment from the local Germans because the Green party wanted to make Germany back to the agricultural economy. EU leaders like Ursula vd Leyen is brainless and the US installed an Amerrican brain in her. China invested 30 billion EU in Hungary to make Hungary the center of electric car manufacturing to clobber Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Renault, Citröen EV market share.

      Ez azért érdekes, mert a Mercedes éppen duplázza a magyarországi elektromos autó gyártását, míg a BMW egy teljesen új elektromos platformot hozz létre Debrecenben. Mindezt a Catl szintén Debrecenben épülő akkumulátorgyárából(7.3 milliárd usd) kívánja ellátni akkuval.

      @@harisoepangkat6085 Ezt én tudom, de a BMW egy teljesen új elektromos platformot(tehát nem a régi hagyományos autóit alakítja át elektromossá) épít Debrecenben 2025-re , ahol szintén épít a Catl(világ legnagyobb akkumulátorgyártója) és az Eve(szintén kínai) is több milliárd usd-ért akkumulátorgyárat. A Catl bejelentésével párhuzamosan bejelentette a Mercedes, hogy megduplázza a kecskeméti(kb. 100 km Debrecentől) gyárának kapacitásait és ezeket az elektromos járműveket catl akkumulátorokkal látja el. Azt még sajnos nem tudni, hogy a Byd Szegeden(szintén közel Kecskeméthez) csak autót v. akkumulátort is fog gyártani. Mindez, azért fontos, mert Kína és a nagy német autógyártók egymásra vannak utalva és mivel a kooperáció, jelen politikai viszonyok között, sokkal olajozottabban működik Magyarországon, mint nyugaton, ezért itt építi mindkét fél az új üzemeit. A német autógyártóknak az se érdeke, hogy túlzott vámokkal terheljék a kínai autókat, mert tudják, hogy az ő legnagyobb piacuk is veszélybe kerülhet, ilyen egyoldalú lépések esetén. Egyébként jövőre, ha elkezd termelni a BMW Debrecenben, Németország és Kína után Magyarország lesz a 3. ország, ahol a 3 nagy német (Audi, Mercedes, BMW)üzem is jelentős gyártókapacitással jelen lesz. Most a Cupra új győri gyáráról nem is beszélve. Most megnéztem a BMW speciális akkumulátorokat fog szerelni az új autóiba és azok a szintén Magyarországon készülnek, a Samsung gödi gyárában.

    Kindly define what is the unity of EU? I mean I am very much like to see one but in reality when China visits, it is called driving a wedge. But when other countries do it, it is not? When Lithuania went almost all in on anti-China, against other EU members' stance, I don't see the narrative of driving a wedge into EU unity... Also by driving a wedge so do you mean to say that then the consensus of EU is to follow Washington's instruction? Wouldn't there is already one organization, why need EU then? Shouldn't EU be an independence power pole in the new century of multi-polar world?

    The EU provides some members with cash, thinking that would be sufficient to prevent country like Hungary to seek a better future for the country. And what does China bring to Hungary to improve its future? Economy in the form of infrastructures and manufacturing. These are what the EU is unable to provide.
    The biggest economy in the EU, Germany, is finding out that excluding China from its future plan is impossible, hence the many business trips to China led by Chancellor Scholz. In Hungary and Serbia case, China goes to them with proposals they found beneficial to their economy. If the EU finds it not to its taste, then it should provide a viable alternative for them, rather than telling them to watch out for the scheming Chinese wanting to wedge Europe/the US.
