Consequently, Europe should accept Chinese solar imports while still ensuring that global supply chains are not held hostage to a single supplier. Importantly, the West should continue to emphasize to Beijing that it seeks to de-risk rather than decouple supply chains.
The concentration of climate technology supply chains in China has raised security and economic concerns in Europe and may lead to increasing trade measures to limit dependencies on Chinese exports.
Europe is an important destination for some of this investment, especially for the battery industry, which is now one of the main drivers of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) into the European Union.
When European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced in September 2023 an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) exported to Europe, observers had mixed reactions.
Given the type of concerns associated with dependence on China for this technology, maintaining a small but comprehensive supply chain within the Union could help reduce some of the risk of Europe’s dependence on China even though it is unlikely to lead to a competitive domestic industry in the foreseeable future.
