In the field of battery cell technology, CATL is in the world's leading position, with the world's largest battery installed capacity, which has enhanced my country's voice in the new energy vehicle industry.
Although the United States is a world superpower, its urine performance is not very good. For foreign companies that master high-tech, has always adopted means of winning and suppressing. If it does not win, it will suppress it. Japanese Toshiba , French Alstom, Chinese Huawei and other companies are witnesses of the "urination" of the United States.
However, what the US did not expect was that CATL, which mastered the core technology of battery cells, actually made the same choice as Huawei and rejected the olive branch it offered. not only delayed the plan to build a factory in the United States, but also expanded a new factory in my country .
Recently, CATL officially announced that it will invest 14 billion yuan to build a factory in Luoyang, Henan, . Once this factory is successfully built, it will not only create a large number of jobs for the local area and drive the local economy, but also increase its battery production capacity, improve the domestic battery industry chain, and gain greater voice in the industry.
It is worth mentioning that This year, CATL announced the construction of factories in Germany and Hungary , with an investment amount exceeding 50 billion yuan. Why did it politely reject the "olive branch" of the United States?
With the increasing prominence of climate problems, all countries are accelerating the layout of the new energy industry and actively promoting the development of new energy vehicles. In the field of new energy vehicles, my country's CATL and BYD have absolute voice and are the best cooperation objects for major new energy vehicle companies. As one of the most core components of new energy vehicles,
battery not only determines the battery life issue, but also concerns core issues such as power and stability.
Hot leaders of many car companies said: If wants to build high-quality new energy vehicles, they must have a reliable battery partner.
No US company has done well in terms of battery. Even the leading company in the new energy vehicle field, Tesla , batteries are very dependent on the supply of Chinese battery manufacturers. The United States invited CATL to build a factory in the United States, in order to use CATL to improve the overall level of the local battery industry.
Cooperation with the United States is undoubtedly a matter of begging for the tiger , and TSMC is a good example. In May 2020, while the US was modifying the rules of the world's semiconductor industry, Zhang Zhongmou agreed to the US's request and announced the construction of a 5nm chip processing factory in the US with an investment of approximately US$12 billion. But what benefits did TSMC get?
The promise of the US when inviting TSMC to build a factory in the United States has not been fulfilled yet, and last year it forced the latter to hand over its core commercial secrets, losing the weight in negotiations with US companies. With the introduction of the Chip Act, TSMC will not be able to build a new chip processing plant in my country.
If CATL builds a factory in the United States, it is very likely to follow the footsteps of TSMC and become the "tool person" in the United States to improve the level of the local battery industry .
In addition, judging from the performance of new energy vehicle companies in various countries, my country is not only the world's largest new energy vehicle market, but also the leader in the new energy vehicle industry. Why does CATL still take huge risks and seek far-reaching construction factories in the United States?
Of course, CATL rejects the olive branch of the United States and is likely to be retaliated against, and the latter is sanctioned by the latter for inexplicable excuses, but CATL will not choose to compromise because of the sanctions of the United States. After all, the core technology that is a technology that American new energy vehicle companies cannot do without. If they are sanctioned, they can completely counter .
The author hopes that at a time when China and the United States are increasingly fierce in technology competition, Chinese companies can become "Huawei" and "CATL". abandons the wrong " comprador " route, continuously increases investment in scientific research, masters the industry's discourse power , and promotes the development of my country's science and technology industry.
The rise of China's technology must not be entrusted to any outsider, but can only rely on ourselves!
