In the face of the gradual rise of China's scientific and technological strength, European and American countries are also feeling serious pressure, after all, the rise of China's scientific and technological strength will inevitably squeeze the market of European and American countries, too European and American opportunities to lie on patents to make money can be said to be less and less. Therefore, European and American countries do not want the rise of Chinese science and technology, and have adopted various means to suppress, restrict and sanction the rise of Chinese science and technology.
However, what European and American countries did not expect was that even if the technology blockade was carried out, China would still be able to achieve key technological breakthroughs in many important scientific and technological fields. For example, nuclear weapons, shield machines, special steel, aerospace, etc. have all reached the top level in the world by relying on China's own strength.
The most difficult thing for Europe and the United States to accept is that in some traditional science and technology, European and American countries can also rely on their own first-mover advantages and occupy certain advantages in some subdivisions, but in some emerging technologies, European and American countries are left behind by China. For example, 5G, new energy lithium batteries, etc., China can be said to be far ahead.
In order to limit the development of China's 5G, European and American countries do not hesitate to frame Huawei 5G security risks, even if the construction has been completed, they must dismantle the communication network using Huawei's 5G equipment, which is not small. From this point, it can be seen that the gradual rise of Chinese science and technology is worrying European and American countries.
Recently, there is news that in order to limit China's advantages and development in the field of new energy, and in order to obtain China's new energy battery technology, the European Union does not hesitate to cooperate with the United States to carry out economic sanctions, and warns: if China wants to deliver new energy products in the European market, it must move the industrial chain to the EU and hand over lithium battery technology.
The purpose of the EU's move is self-evident, that is, to obtain China's advanced lithium battery technology, in order to catch up with the gap with China in the field of new energy.
The European Union issued a warning that it would join the United States in sanctioning China
According to Western media reports, the G7 summit recently held a new meeting, mainly targeting China's "economic oppression", "market interference" and other behaviors. The United States also spoke out at the first time and supported the EU's approach, and senior US officials said that China had imposed "economic oppression" on Lithuania and Australia.
On the one hand, European and American countries continue to impose economic sanctions on Russia, Iran and other countries, and keep silent about these things; on the other hand, European and American countries call China's counterattack against Lithuania, Australia and other countries that have provoked their own principles as "economic oppression". In the Chinese saying, it's really good and bad things that let them finish talking.
After accusing China, the European Union began to call on the United States to jointly carry out "joint actions" in the fields of economy, trade, science and technology against China at the end of the month, although it is a joint action, but we all understand the meaning, which is nothing more than a sanctions against China.
Tu Qiqi saw and forced China to hand over battery technology
After the European Union announced that it would join the United States in imposing sanctions on China, it was followed by a law and regulation: if China wants to deliver new energy products in the European market, it not only needs to move the industrial chain to Europe, but also hand over lithium battery technology.
The so-called "economic oppression" of Australia and Lithuania by China is just an excuse for the EU to cooperate with the United States to sanction China and threaten China to hand over new energy lithium battery technology. The fundamental purpose of the EU is to get China's lithium battery technology.
At present, in the field of new energy, especially new energy lithium batteries, China can be said to be at the global leading level. Most of the new energy lithium batteries widely used internationally are from China's BYD, CATL and other new energy enterprises. Even Tesla, the largest new energy vehicle company in the United States, announced that it will use BYD blade batteries in the future, and also purchased lithium batteries from the Ningde era on a large scale. According to the latest released data, in the first quarter of 2023, China's lithium battery exports reached 109.7 billion yuan, ranking first in the world.
For EU countries, it is very difficult to create a complete industrial chain in the field of new energy lithium batteries, and it is unrealistic to catch up with or even surpass China's lithium battery technology. Therefore, EU countries want to obtain Chinese technology through this clever way.
However, the calculations of EU countries this time are destined to fail, no matter from what point of view, China is unlikely to hand over lithium battery production technology to EU countries. After all, the global market is so large, the lack of the EU market is certainly a loss, but handing over technology to EU countries is undoubtedly giving up their own.
What's more, the ban on the sale of China's new energy lithium batteries in the EU market has had a far deeper impact on EU countries than on China. After all, at present, in the field of lithium batteries, China's technology, production capacity and market share are the world's top, and it is almost impossible for EU countries to find alternatives to China's lithium batteries.
Written at the end: technical strength is the source of the right to speak and confidence, EU countries want to force China to hand over lithium battery technology through bans and sanctions, is undoubtedly wishful thinking, how can this means of hurting the enemy a thousand and self-damage a thousand and a half can be effective? What do you think about that?
