<<China exported about 1 million cars to Europe in 2024 - in fact, China is literally the biggest import country for cars going to Europe. The EU gets about 1/3 of all of their semiconductors from China - they're one of China's biggest export markets.>>

Ah! Didn't know the Chinese send that many cars to Europe; I don't see them on the roads in the UK or France. My point is that the Europeans aren't suddenly going to allow the Chinese to take over more of the EU economy.

MG sell quite well. The name sounds British, but it's been Chinese owned since 2007.
