Weird. I though the American factory was because they wanted to have a foot in the NAAFTA market. Hungary is for serving the European market.

At most I was expecting a change from the US to Mexico which makes more sense in my opinion if CATL's intention was to enter the north American market

Bro look at this at Chinese POV, we have the largest market, why would we help you as the restriction are being place on my product and maybe in the future they might nationalized the factory. For god sake we're Chinese, we have our pride, If we're not welcome then we deal with the ROW as shown by Huawei. We can grow without you....lol Is my sentiment correct @Loveleenkr , I wish to hear your opinion badly.

A side note let's see what the American company will do, will they not use Chinese component to claim Federal Subsidies or its better to use them as the cost balance it out with cheaper and more reliable components. Because $7,500 subsidies ain't much as the quality and design of Chinese EV is way better than its American competitor even Tesla.

I remember people arguing with me that CATL should had chosen to built their factory in the US instead of Mexico lol.
It seems that CATL is even more ballsy and hawkish than me and instead just cancelled everything haha

As I said before, and I will repeat it again now, US is an enemy. Inb4 "but da Americans would appreciate jobs created by Chinese companies!"

US is the enemy of China, point.
US is the enemy of Russia, point.
US is the enemy of Serbia, point.
US is the enemy of every country out of their hegemonic influence, point.

Those are constants, nothing can change that, so better accept the reality and act according to that.

Bro Xi thinks NOW is the time to decouple especially its Financial Investment abroad with it NO new Investment in the US. I think there is an acknowledgement among the CCP leadership and Chinese intelligentsia of America intention. The blowback is the hardening of Chinese position and we may see a major rearmament happening within the next 3 years.

Back in 2018, right before US started first rounds of bans on Huawei, I remember reading AT&T and Tmobile had signed contracts to bring Huawei headsets to US market, but the US gov intervened and forced these companies to back out. Hindsight is 2020... in retrospect now we know why

Seems like China gov is really going for full decoupling now...

Possible. I personally don't see how the Hungary plant would allow it to enter the American market. Unless there was a drastic change internally, I doubt that CATL is willing to leave the North American market to its competitors.

So imo, a factory somewhere in US/Mexico will happen eventually

Let's see if APPLE Car will be a reality...lol

Oh dear... Someone get him his meds please
