A growing number of electric car and robot manufacturers are being scrutinized for their alleged ties to China's military, sparking concerns over national security and the potential for dual-use technology. Chinese companies such as BYD, which supplies batteries to major electric vehicle makers, and robotics firm UBTech, have been accused of having ties to the People's Liberation Army (PLA). As the world becomes increasingly reliant on electric vehicles and automation, the implications of Chinese military involvement in these industries could have far-reaching consequences. Experts warn that China's military could potentially use this technology to gain a strategic advantage, raising questions about the security of the global supply chain.
