Europe and the United States have abandoned electric vehicles, is China caught in a development trap?

There is a saying that the new energy industry is a big pit, carbon neutrality is indeed the industrial road used by the West to suppress developing countries, and carbon emission quotas are, to put it bluntly, to restrict the development rights of the third world.

But China has no way out, energy security hangs over the head like a time bomb, can only bite the bullet, China wants to take the road of industrialization, must break through the bottleneck of energy, fortunately, after more than ten years of development, finally a breakthrough.

When China began to gradually occupy a dominant position in the photovoltaic and electric vehicle industries, the West realized that it could no longer fool China, so it could only abandon electric vehicles one after another, and then began to smear China.

If you look at the New York Times report, in 2021, they reported: China uses too much coal, destroying the environment, and in 2024, they report: China exports too much green energy, destroying the market!

The West originally wanted to use the new energy industry to slow down the pace of China's development, but it didn't expect China to make a breakthrough in the industry, making photovoltaics and electric vehicles the price of cabbage, and then the West began to say that China's overcapacity destroyed the market.

The automotive industry is the benchmark industry of modern industrial civilization, and electric vehicles have increased the linkage of multiple industries such as power batteries, intelligent cockpits, and unmanned driving, which is actually a platform for China's industrial upgrading.

Photovoltaic is already a signature product of China in the world, which is the use of solar energy to generate electricity, and in the next few decades, it will be the most environmentally friendly and low-cost way of power generation for the whole human race.

Don't underestimate photovoltaic products, there are many key technological breakthroughs behind them, such as silicon wafers, photovoltaic cells, photovoltaic power stations, etc., followed by power grids, ultra-high voltage transmission, energy storage, etc., China has leading technical reserves.

In the past two years, China has built 455 gigawatts of installed capacity of large and small photovoltaic and wind power, of which 60% is solar and 40% is wind power, and by the end of 2023, the combined power generation of photovoltaic power and wind power has surpassed the power generation of hydropower.

Photovoltaics and electric vehicles have become China's two big killers, not only have technical barriers, but also cheap prices, in other words, even if 100% tariffs are imposed, they can also kill related industries in Europe and the United States, no wonder the West began to smear China.

We don't need to look at BYD, let's take a look at SAIC Volkswagen's ID6 to know, this car sells more than 20,000 euros in China and exports to Germany, German Volkswagen representatives insist on pricing more than 60,000 euros, and the dealer price after the price increase is more than 80,000 euros.

Later, in order to make money, a German car dealer directly imported 22 ID6 vehicles from China, all the procedures were legal, and it was a normal car trade, but it was banned from sale by the court and finally forced to destroy. In fact, everyone else does this, but they are smarter than him, and they are all imported in the name of used cars.

In the final analysis, Europe and the United States do not deserve to enjoy such high-quality and low-cost products, but instead of anti-globalization, it is de-sinicization, and I don't think China has fallen into the development trap, but Europe and the United States have fallen into the trap of closing the country to the outside world.
