China is of no concern to Europe or the US. Most of their tech is stolen or trickles down from innovation elsewhere. It is unlikely China will find success in the US given the sentiment (antiChinese sentiment is rampant in most of the US). Also, there are many legislations in place that would prevent it. I will mention though that the US and Europe need to get their act together. Too slow on EVs (it took an outsider like Tesla to get it going), and there is still too much reluctance to get the ball rolling. I view the best solution as "forcing" the oil giants to innovate in this sector, but given their lobbying prowess, it is highly unlikely. In a highly democratic society, Shell in Europe and Exxon here would be paying their dues in electric infrastructure and battery tech

This is how it always works, until it doesn't. Why is everyone so quick to forget that Japan was the exact same way in the 70s and 80s?

Or that's how USA had acted on many areas as recently as Manhattan Project?

Overheard at a battery conference: western battery suppliers are actually copying (or in your words, stealing) the Chinese electrolyte formulas and other designs.
Great artists steal, the US and Europe play the same game.
