China is accelerating construction of electric vehicle factories across Europe to circumvent rising tariffs on Chinese-made EVs, leveraging local production to avoid import duties while expanding its market share. The strategy targets key markets like Germany and Hungary, where Chinese automakers are securing partnerships with European firms to assemble vehicles on-site. Industry analysts warn this move could intensify trade tensions, as Europe tightens regulations on subsidized Chinese electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Beijing’s push for domestic manufacturing aligns with its broader goal of dominating the global EV supply chain.
