Probably because LG Energy cannot mass-produce LFP batteries.
The usual: smearing Chinese miners and battery makers of using unethical production methods, such as using slave labors or causing pollution, Chinese producers are already taking measures to counter potential sanctions by the West, for example, teaming up with foreign companies.
BYD's electric trucks and bus:
New battery technology from CALB: the NCM version has an energy density of 300 Wh/kg, while the LFP/LMFP versions have an energy density of 200 Wh/kg. It can be fast-charged in 10 minutes.
Another cheap BEV from BYD. This time Yuan Pro 2023 version. Now they have Dolphin, E2, Qin+ & Yuan Pro all in the sub 150K segment. On top of that, they have sea gull coming. Seems a little overcrowded

The Yangwang U9 is evaluated as ugly in the term of Supercar by YYP on its launch day. He said a supercar is a type of car that has very high requirement of aesthetics. His review on the U9 in the below video starts at 6:25.
Qin EV champion edition starts at 13w RMB for 420km range, changes include new heat pump, 8-in-1 drivetrain, V2L, larger screen
Netizens are not happy because it has too many glaring cons for such a price. For one, it still only has a max speed of only 130kmh, and now omits sunroof, electric seat adjustment, wind deflectors, one touch power window etc for only a measly 1w decrease in price
It's in a very awkward position
For additional 0-3w you can get a Geometry A, Aion S Plus, Leapmotor C01 or Shenlan SL03
Or you could save 5w and get a traditional Changan Eado, Arrizo 5 Plus, Emgrand and spend the 5w on all the petrol you could ever need

While not directly related to Chinese NEVs, the manufacturer having access to recorded videos from car cameras seems to be a pressing privacy concern. It makes good sense that Teslas are banned near sensitive locations as they can easily used as for espionage purposes.

It looks like @Jiang ZeminFanboy was right about the prices of Chinese EVs being too high or not competitive enough, making them unappealing in Europe. What are the reasons for the stiff prices?
Simply put, there is not much competition. Their sales are still good even at the current price points. Price vs sales volume is purely an optimization curve for max profits. EVs have puny market penetration outside of China. Roughly 2% vs 98% for ICE autos.
