Well, it was either the Chinese or the Americans. It’s slightly better with the Americans, but I’m still annoyed that we can’t do better in the EU.
The usa are becoming more like china by the day, so I woudnt say one is better that the other
Well, the US hasn’t used tanks to crush protesters into a pulp yet, so I still think they are better. I just wish the EU could outdo them both when it comes to protecting our vital industries.

China is openly supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine. As bad as the US government has become, it’s still a far cry from the CCP.
China doesn’t have alliances with any one that they would stop doing business to other whichever is it about weapons or something else. Not really that big of a deal unless, they are sending soldiers or ships or planes at least there is no proof of state ordered troops like on the north korean case.
What US did was way worse when agent krasnov (trump) took power he made absolute U-turn and betrayed Ukraine and also humilated Zelenskyi by blaming, Zelenskyi the guilty one for russia’s attack on Ukraine only to spread propaganda to his voters and russia. Also US hasn’t really, send any support after he took office but having personal talks with the invader without involving the attacked side and still does! Or any nato or eu countries too. And lying constantly he even took money from kreml its like its if putin was annouched to secretary leader of nato!
There could be survivorship bias:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_biasThere are no protests to be crushed because they could never manifest.
Yes, thats true
That would have been an actually smart thing to buy for Volkswagen or another European car maker. Volkswagen used to own 23.6% of Northvolt, so they should know the business.
Makes me think they sold out because they knew the business wasn’t sustainable.
VW has their own rapidly maturing battery cell production, so I suspect they just decided they didn’t need to buy Northvolt. They probably already got all the IP they needed anyways.
This is so horrible. A country in Europe subsidizes a company working on a technology for the future, but gets not real stakes in it. They build infrastructure in Europe. The government changes, stops subsidies, the management goes berserk (or turns out to just want to make moneys, no morals, what a surprise) in the meanwhile. No restructuring (or - it goes through a US “restructuring” protocol). Then it gets sold to Americans, with the infrastructure.
