Experts Warn of Europe's Over-Reliance on Chinese Green Technology
A report co-authored by Michael Collins, a former deputy head of national security strategy at the UK Cabinet Office, warns that Europe is 'sleepwalking' into economic and national security issues due to its heavy reliance on Chinese green technology. The report highlights that China supplies a significant portion of Europe's solar panels, lithium-ion batteries, and inverters, which are crucial for renewable energy integration. The potential risks include China's ability to remotely disable these technologies, although such actions are deemed unlikely unless in conflict. The report also suggests that China's dominance in green tech could lead to long-term economic harm for Europe, affecting industries like car manufacturing and AI development.
