China drängt mit E-Autos nach vorne, Deutschland ringt um die Zukunft des Verbrenners – und eine neue Studie zeigt, wie hart der Förderstopp den Markt getroffen hat. Verliert Deutschland bei der Elektromobilität den Anschluss? Darüber spricht electrive-Chefredakteur Peter Schwierz mit Beatrix Keim, Direktorin des CAR Center Automotive Research. Das CAR hat kürzlich die Studie „Elektromobilität am Wendepunkt – Notwendige Entwicklungen bis Ende 2025“ vorgestellt. Keim nennt das Ende der Umweltprämie Ende 2023 einen Knackpunkt: „Das war ein absoluter Fauxpas, gelinde gesagt idiotisch, zu kurz angesagt, nicht wirklich gut erklärt – und der Bevölkerung wurde, sehr salopp gesagt, der Stinkefinger gezeigt.“ Während die Bundesregierung 15 Millionen E-Autos bis 2030 anstrebe, habe sie das Gegenteil signalisiert. Hinzu komme mangelnde Aufklärung. „Es wird immer noch nicht ausreichend erklärt, was E-Mobilität eigentlich ist, welche Vorteile sie bringt und für wen sie geeignet ist.“ Mythen zu Batterien oder Reichweite hielten sich. Auch das „Verbrenner-Aus“ 2035 werde falsch verstanden – viele dächten, Verbrenner würden dann verboten. Soziale Förderung und Ladeinfrastruktur Um Privatkunden zu gewinnen, fordert Keim eine sozialere Förderung. „Es reicht nicht, wenn steuerliche Vorteile vor allem Dienstwagenbesitzern zugutekommen. Auch Menschen mit normalen Gehältern brauchen Zugang.“ Sie verweist auf das französische „Social Leasing“. Zudem müsse der Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur beschleunigt werden: „Es ist besser, fast schon zu viel zu haben, als wirklich zu wenig. Die gefühlte Lücke sorgt für Unsicherheit – und die Reichweitenangst sitzt tief.“ Einstiegspreise und Batterieabhängigkeit Erschwingliche Modelle fehlen. „Ich habe Volkswagen schon gesagt: Bringen Sie bitte den ID.2 oder ID.1 so schnell wie möglich – besser nicht erst 2027.“ Auch Stellantis oder chinesische Hersteller könnten einspringen. Trotz EU-Zöllen blieben Importe konkurrenzfähig. Parallel warnt Keim: „Wir brauchen dringend mehr Zellfertigung in Europa. Solange wir bei Batterien von China abhängig sind, bleiben wir verwundbar.“ Deutsche Hersteller: zwischen Hoffnung und Realität Bei VW sieht Keim Licht und Schatten: „Die ID-Modelle werden in Europa durchaus gut angenommen, auch Cupra läuft sehr gut. Aber in China sieht es schwieriger aus.“ Audi und Porsche hinkten hinterher. BMW setze mit der „Neuen Klasse“ ein starkes Signal: „Das ist ein echter Hoffnungsträger, technologisch sehr stark und mit internationaler Ausrichtung.“ Mercedes halte mit seiner MMA-Plattform den Verbrenner offen. „Wir haben noch zehn Jahre bis zum Verbrenner-Aus. Der US-Markt ist weiter ein Verbrennermarkt, auch in China dominiert der Verbrenner noch.“ Opel wiederum setzt statt reiner E-Mobilität auf Multi-Energy. „Man versucht hier nach allen Halmen zu greifen. Aber ob das Vertrauen schafft, ist fraglich.“ China drängt nach Europa BYD, Changan und andere treten in München groß auf, begleitet von Batterieproduzenten wie CATL. „Die Fahrzeuge sind technisch gut, aber die Marken haben noch Nachholbedarf beim Image. Ohne mehr Kommunikation und Sichtbarkeit wird es schwer, Vertrauen aufzubauen.“ Parallel werde aggressiv der Flotten- und Abo-Markt bedient. Schafft Deutschland den Turnaround? „Es muss endlich gehandelt werden. Die Bundesregierung darf diese Schlüsselindustrie nicht einfach laufen lassen.“ Über 50.000 Arbeitsplätze seien bereits verloren gegangen. „Wenn wir nicht reagieren, verlieren wir nicht nur Marktanteile, sondern auch industrielle Substanz.“ Ihre Kernbotschaft: „E-Mobilität ist eine sehr schöne, sehr emotionale Mobilität. Aber sie muss von Politik, Industrie und Gesellschaft getragen werden – sonst werden wir in Europa nur noch zuschauen.“

Bosch, Continental und ZF gehören weiter zu den Schwergewichten der globalen Automobilzulieferer. Doch die deutschen Player haben ihre besten Zeiten womöglich hinter sich und sind in "einer angespannten Situation", sagt Dr. Alexander Timmer. Liegt das nur an der Transformation zur Elektromobilität? In unserem Podcast erläutert der Autoexperte von Berylls by AlixPartners die Hintergründe! Während deutsche Zulieferer seit 2020 im Schnitt um 5,7 Prozent jährlich wachsen, kommen chinesische Wettbewerber auf stolze 14,7 Prozent, so die neue Zulieferer-Studie von Berylls. Die Entwicklung mag stabil erscheinen, doch 27 der 34 europäischen Unternehmen im Ranking mussten 2024 Umsatzrückgänge verkraften. Über die Gründe dafür hat electrive-Chefredakteur Peter Schwierz mit Alexander Timmer von Berylls by AlixPartners gesprochen. Auffällig ist, dass Bosch, Conti und ZF nie ernsthaft in die großskalige Batteriezellproduktion eingestiegen sind – einem der wichtigsten Geschäftsfelder der Branche für den Wechsel zur Elektromobilität. Rückblickend hält Timmer das für ein zweischneidigen Schwert: „Für den Standort Deutschland oder Europa ist es keine gute Entscheidung gewesen. Für die Unternehmen selbst aber sehr wohl.“ Denn die Zellfertigung sei eine chemische Prozessindustrie, die sich nur schwer mit dem klassischen Automotive-Geschäft vereinbaren lasse. Jetzt noch mit der Batterieproduktion zu starten, sei kaum machbar, denn die Führerschaft asiatischer Hersteller sei so weit voraus, dass ein Einstieg einem „Uphill-Battle über viele Jahre“ gleichkäme. Die Kehrseite: Der Abstand zu Korea, Japan und vor allem China ist heute „unaufholbar“. Während europäische Player wie das mittlerweile insolvente und nun im Übernahmeverfahren durch Lyten steckende Northvolt mit Verzögerungen bei der Produktion kämpfen, dominieren die chinesischen Player CATL und BYD den Weltmarkt – trotz jüngster Rückgänge. „Der Wachstumspfad für CATL ist weiter gezeichnet“, betont Timmer. Damit einher geht eine Wachablösung in der Zuliefererbranche: Wo keine Zylinderkopfdichtungen mehr gefragt ist, sondern eben Batteriezellen, verändern sich Marktanteile. Timmers jährliche Studie listet übrigens auch sechs neue Zulieferer unter den Top 100 – allein vier davon aus China. Darunter den Elektronikkonzern Huawei, dessen Automotive-Sparte um „sagenhafte 465 Prozent“ zulegte. Diese Dynamik sei kein Zufall, so Timmer: „Da kommen Player in den Markt mit einer sehr großen Marktmacht und auch mit dem Willen, Marktanteile zu gewinnen.“ China baue nicht nur seine Fahrzeugproduktion aus, sondern etabliere parallel eine mächtige Zulieferindustrie. Prognosen von Berylls zufolge könnten chinesische Unternehmen schon rund um das Jahr 2031 Deutschland und Japan als führende Zulieferernationen ablösen. Wie ist die Lage konkret? ZF kämpft mit Margendruck und hohen Verlusten in der Antriebssparte, Bosch baut Stellen ab, Continental strukturiert sich radikal um. Positiv sei immerhin, dass Bosch früh Trends wie das „Software-Defined Vehicle“ besetzt habe, während Continental sich mit Spin-offs fokussiere. Trotzdem wird der Kuchen kleiner: Hersteller holen mehr Wertschöpfung ins eigene Haus – vom Antrieb bis zu Softwarelösungen. „De facto wird das, was übrig ist für den Zulieferer, weniger“, fasst Timmer zusammen. Neben der technischen Umstellung erschweren politische Schwankungen die Planung. Die jüngste Flexibilisierung der EU-Flottengrenzwerte verschafft Verbrennungskomponenten zwar Luft, verzögert aber Elektromobilitätsprojekte. „Planungssicherheit ist Gold wert – die gibt es derzeit nicht“, kritisiert Timmer. Für deutsche Zulieferer sieht er Chancen vor allem bei Software, Elektronik und auf neuen Märkten wie Indien – nicht jedoch in einer späten Aufholjagd bei Batteriezellen. Das nachdenkliche Gespräch über die Umbrüche im Markt der Zulieferer im Vorfeld der IAA Mobility in München sollten Sie nicht verpassen!

Im aktuellen Podcast hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mit Prof. Dr. Pero Mićić zu sprechen – einem der renommiertesten Experten für Zukunftsmanagement und Gründer der Future Management Group. Seit über drei Jahrzehnten beschäftigt sich Pero mit der Frage, wie Unternehmen sich zukunftssicher aufstellen können. Unser Gespräch drehte sich um die Zukunft der Mobilität, insbesondere um die Rolle der Elektromobilität bis 2035 und darüber hinaus – aber auch um strategische Fehler, verpasste Chancen und mögliche Auswege. Gleich zu Beginn machten wir deutlich: Die Stimmung in der deutschen Automobilindustrie ist derzeit alles andere als euphorisch. Werkschließungen, Rückzüge, Unsicherheit – viele Schlagzeilen zeichnen ein düsteres Bild. Pero betont jedoch: „Zukunftsfreude darf keine naive Zukunftsfreude sein, sondern muss begründet sein.“ Er sieht in der aktuellen Situation den Übergang zwischen zwei Ären – und der sei zwar holprig, aber notwendig. Entscheidend sei, dass wir lernen, den Wandel als Chance zu sehen, statt an alten Systemen festzuhalten. Ein zentrales Thema war die Rolle von Führungskräften. Laut Pero liegt es an ihnen, innerhalb der Unternehmen ein Bild der nächsten Ära zu entwerfen, das motiviert und mobilisiert. „Zukunftsfreude entsteht nicht in der Politik, sondern in den Unternehmen – durch Führungskräfte, die vorangehen“, so seine klare Aussage. Besonders Mittelständler mit Familienbindung hätten hier einen Vorteil, da sie langfristiger denken könnten als börsennotierte Konzerne. Was aber oft fehle, sei der Mut zu langfristigem Denken – nicht zuletzt wegen falscher Anreizsysteme. Statt die notwendige Transformation zur Elektromobilität konsequent voranzutreiben, wird vielerorts lieber an Hybridlösungen festgehalten, weil sie kurzfristig bessere Zahlen liefern. Doch das sei gefährlich: „Hybride sind eine bilanzielle Strategie – das sieht drei, vier Jahre besser aus, aber dann umso schlechter.“ Besonders spannend war Peros Rückblick: Schon 2006 präsentierte er Tesla als Symbol für die kommende Elektromobilität – damals noch belächelt. Viele OEMs hätten sich seither auf Annahmen verlassen, die sich als falsch erwiesen: Dass man als Maschinenbauer einfach auf E-Antrieb umsteigen könne, dass Batteriezellen keine Differenzierung ermöglichen oder dass chinesische Hersteller keine ernstzunehmende Konkurrenz würden. All das habe sich heute überholt. Ein wichtiges Beispiel war für ihn Norwegen: Dort habe man schon vor zehn Jahren konsequent in E-Mobilität investiert – mit Subventionen, die heute gar nicht mehr nötig wären. Denn: „Die Batteriepreise sind seitdem um 90 Prozent gefallen – das verändert alles.“ Für Pero ist klar: Der Wandel ist unausweichlich – ökonomisch, technisch und ökologisch. Neue Batteriegenerationen wie die Shenxing-Zellen von CATL mit 5 Minuten Ladezeit für bis zu 400 Kilometer zeigen, wohin die Reise geht. Er macht aber auch deutlich: Es wird Opfer geben. Zu lange habe man geschlafen, an alten Erfolgen festgehalten und den Wandel verschleppt. „Es wird mich nicht überraschen, wenn die deutschen OEMs künftig andere Eigentümer haben – und deutlich kleiner sind.“ Der Ausweg? Radikaler Strategiewechsel, Fokus auf Elektromobilität, keine weiteren Investitionen in Verbrenner, dafür volles Commitment in das Neue. Und: Führungskräfte, die bereit sind, mehr als nur die nächsten Quartalszahlen im Blick zu haben. Nun aber genug der Vorworte – lasst uns direkt in das Gespräch mit Pero Mićić einsteigen.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1115: Ford's ready for its “Model T moment,” the Cybertruck heads to military testing, and Rivian turns EV charging into a Hamptons-style retreat.Show Notes with links:Ford is gearing up for a major EV push with plans to build a new generation of affordable electric vehicles, kicking off a pivotal new chapter that CEO Jim Farley has dubbed the company's “Model T moment.”The EV line will include a midsize pickup, set to launch in 2027 from Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant.Batteries will be supplied by Ford's upcoming $3B LFP (lithium ion phosphate) battery plant in Marshall, MI, creating 1,700 jobs.The Marshall project has faced controversy, construction pauses, and political scrutiny due to its partnership with Chinese battery giant CATL, but will move forward after securing tax credits.It will be the first U.S. EV battery plant to use LFP chemistry at scale—offering lower costs and better sustainability than traditional NMC batteries, though with less power and range.“Model e continues to make targeted investments where we have breakthrough innovation (next gen EVs), and a distinct advantage (LFP batteries)” said CEO Jim Farley.Elon Musk once pitched the Tesla Cybertruck as a military-ready, apocalypse-proof beast. Now, the U.S. Air Force has plans for it—just not quite the way he envisioned.The Air Force Test Center is requesting two Cybertrucks as part of a 33-vehicle target fleet at White Sands Missile Range.A military doc suggests adversaries might use Cybertrucks, which “have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact.”The goal is to test precision-guided weapons against realistic, resilient targets.The government documents left a glowing review of the Cybertruck saying “Extensive internet searches and industry outreach by [REDACTED] found no vehicles with features comparable to those of the Cybertruck.”Charging your EV in the Hamptons just got a whole lot cozier. Rivian's new Southampton Charging Outpost swaps the gas station vibes for beachside boutique charm—and locals are noticing.The cedar-shingled lounge features six DC fast chargers, a kids' play area, 24/7 restrooms, and complimentary Hampton Coffee.From August 7–10, drivers can plug in for free, enjoy curated snacks, and even test drive a Rivian.Every mile charged is powered by renewable energy—solar and wind included.This marks Rivian's 121st Adventure Network site and 15th in the Northeast, reinforcing its strategy of building fewer but friendlier charging stops.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:37 Kyle is at Beaver Mazda today1:42 Announcements3:10 Ford's Next-Gen EVs Are Coming5:37 US Orders Cybertrucks for Target PracticeJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Is China investable? If so, how do you go about it? What are the basic ground rules? Recently, I spoke to an American fund manager living in the UK whose life has been intertwined with China since he was a young boy. Rufus Frazier has a long career investing in emerging markets, and he believes China offers some of the best investment opportunities available anywhere in the world. In a fascinating discussion, we cover the macro backdrop to China and the perceived risks, such as the Taiwan issue, property rights and the historically poor returns from Chinese equities over the last couple of decades, when its economic growth has been so strong. What are we missing about this disconnect, and why might this be changing?   Rufus explains why the scale and structure of China's market makes stock picking essential, he talks about the things to look for as well as the sectors and stocks to avoid.For example, China's Uber, Didi, seems fine, but its huge battery manufacturer with a dominant global market position, CATL, is more problematic. Finally, Rufus puts the opportunity for Chinese equities into its broader EM context. Where are the other “hot” emerging markets? In his view, mainly in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Now comes the bit where I remind you that none of what you are about to hear is investment or any other kind of advice, but just for your information and hopefully enjoyment. Please take professional advice before investing a penny of your money into these crazy markets. And with that, please enjoy my conversation with the maverick, Rufus Frazier.  Brought to you by Progressive Equity.    

The United States and China wrapped up the third round of high-level trade negotiations earlier this week. American and Chinese negotiators met in Stockholm on July 28 and 29. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks as constructive and wide ranging. He acknowledged that an extension of the 90-day tariff pause was discussed but said that the final decision was up to President Trump.  As of today – August 1 – Trump has remained mum. The Chinese side's readout was devoid of details, although China's vice minister of commerce said that both countries would continue to push for an extension of the reciprocal tariffs and Chinese countermeasures.How should we assess the dynamics in the trade talks, including the balance of leverage between Washington and Beijing? And how might the trade negotiations shape the future of the US-China relationship? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Dr. Scott Kennedy. Scott is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:06] Lessons Learned from Trump's First Administration[05:20] Chinese Outlook on Future Economic Policy[09:28] Who's Winning the Trade War?[14:30] China's Reactions to Transshipment Provisions[18:18] Bessent's Rebalancing Plans [24:14] Challenges to Chinese Investment in the US [29:15] China's Trade Deal Goals

President Donald Trump is heading to Scotland on Friday for a trip that blends golf with diplomacy. He'll first visit his Turnberry resort on Scotland's west coast, where he's set to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday for talks to advance the U.S.–UK trade deal. Trump will then travel 200 miles east to his Aberdeen property to open a second 18-hole course, which is named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. She was born on a Scottish island before immigrating to the United States.Trump paid a rare visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters on Thursday, ramping up pressure on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. The two also clashed over a controversial Fed renovation project that's slated to cost billions of dollars. Powell defended the renovation costs, saying the building requires significant structural repairs.Lawmakers have subpoenaed the CEOs of two of America's biggest financial institutions, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America. They're under scrutiny for their roles in the initial public offering of Chinese battery giant, CATL. The company is flagged by the Defense Department as a Chinese military company. The chairman of the select committee on the CCP said that "Wall Street shouldn't be underwriting Chinese military companies—and the American people deserve transparency."

Yesterday, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders intended to assure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.  In the interest of competing with Communist China's aggressive pursuit of AI superiority, however, safeguards and oversight aimed at preventing “FrankenAI” from transforming us into a CCP-like“digital gulag” are being given short shrift.  Another, less fraught way to keep us ahead of the Chinese Communists would be to stop their underwriting by Wall Street. House China Committee Chairman John Moolenaar has just subpoenaed two of the worst malefactors – Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America – in connection with their recent fundraising for a Chinese military company called CATL.   You don't need much intelligence to recognize, as President Trump did in his as-yet-unimplemented “America First Investment Policy,” that we have to stop funding the Chinese Communist Party.  This is Frank Gaffney.

A műsor első részében Kövesy Károllyal, a Portfolio Részvény rovatának elemzőjével azt néztük meg, hogy milyen okok húzódnak meg az autópiaci, elektromobilitási kereslet megtorpanása mögött, és miért vált kérdésessé több, kulcsfontosságúnak tartott magyarországi gigaberuházás jövője. Adásunk második felében pedig megnyerjük az Ötöslottó több mint 4 hónapja halmozódó főnyereményét - legalábbis elméletben. Hogy érdemes befektetni 4 milliárd forintot, hogy lehet belőle megalapozni egy generációkon átívelő vagyont, és mik lehetnek a főbb instrumentumok, amikbe megérné fektetni? Erről is kérdezzük Bence Balázst, a Portfolio Csoport befektetési szolgáltatások igazgatóját.

C'est un marché en plein essor : celui des batteries, de plus en plus cruciales dans un monde qui cherche à recourir à plus d'électrique, et à moins de pétrole. Pour donner un coup de fouet à l'économie de son pays, le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban a invité plusieurs entreprises chinoises à s'implanter, malgré la réticence, voire l'hostilité, d'une majorité de la population.    Cette émission est une sélection estivale des programmes d'Accents d'Europe La population hongroise rétive aux usines de batteries Dans 10 ans, les voitures neuves vendues dans l'Union européenne devront toutes être électriques et la course à la production de batteries est lancée. Le Premier ministre Viktor Orban veut faire de la Hongrie un producteur de rang mondial, notamment parce que l'industrie automobile allemande fabrique beaucoup dans son pays. Il a invité des entreprises chinoises à venir s'implanter. Un grand pôle industriel est en train de voir le jour dans l'est du pays où le géant chinois CATL construit la plus grande usine de batteries du continent européen.

NIO vs XPeng - the battle for Chinese EV dominance just got more interesting! While XPeng scrambles to develop hybrid vehicles (literally spotted at gas stations now!), NIO is building long-term infrastructure that could dominate the next decade.In this episode of Courtside Financial, I break down why NIO's Mirattery battery asset management company securing additional Series C funding from founding shareholders is HUGE news that most retail investors are missing. We're talking about 27 GWh of battery assets under management, 350,000+ users served, and strategic moves that separate real companies from market followers.What You'll Learn:Why plug-in hybrid sales are crashing in China (31% growth vs 151% previously)How XPeng's pivot to hybrids reveals strategic panic, not visionWhy NIO's Battery-as-a-Service infrastructure is the real competitive moatThe Mirattery financing details everyone's overlookingWhy pure EVs are accelerating past hybrids in China's marketKey Topics Covered:NIO stock analysis and long-term thesisXPeng strategic pivot analysisChinese EV market trends and dataBattery-as-a-Service business model breakdownInfrastructure investments vs quarterly delivery obsessionWhy being contrarian on NIO could pay off bigThe Chinese EV market is returning to pure electric dominance, and companies with real infrastructure advantages are separating from those still figuring out their technology strategy. This isn't just about monthly delivery numbers - it's about who's building sustainable competitive advantages for the next decade.Perfect for NIO investors, Chinese EV stock followers, and anyone interested in understanding the deeper business strategies that actually create long-term value in the electric vehicle revolution.Related Keywords: NIO stock, XPeng analysis, Chinese EV stocks, battery swapping technology, EV infrastructure investments, pure electric vs hybrid vehicles, Mirattery financing, CATL partnerships

C'est un marché en plein essor : celui des batteries, de plus en plus cruciales dans un monde qui cherche à recourir à plus d'électrique, et à moins de pétrole. Pour donner un coup de fouet à l'économie de son pays, le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban a invité plusieurs entreprises chinoises à s'implanter, malgré la réticence, voire l'hostilité, d'une majorité de la population.    Cette émission est une sélection estivale des programmes d'Accents d'Europe La population hongroise rétive aux usines de batteries Dans 10 ans, les voitures neuves vendues dans l'Union européenne devront toutes être électriques et la course à la production de batteries est lancée. Le Premier ministre Viktor Orban veut faire de la Hongrie un producteur de rang mondial, notamment parce que l'industrie automobile allemande fabrique beaucoup dans son pays. Il a invité des entreprises chinoises à venir s'implanter. Un grand pôle industriel est en train de voir le jour dans l'est du pays où le géant chinois CATL construit la plus grande usine de batteries du continent européen. Selon plusieurs sondages, la majorité de la population est hostile à la présence de ces usines et à Debrecen, la colère gronde : les riverains dénoncent un risque élevé de pollution.

The automotive industry just witnessed a historic collapse that could reshape the entire EV landscape - and NIO investors need to understand what this means RIGHT NOW. GAC Fiat Chrysler just became the first joint venture to declare bankruptcy in the 21st century, but here's the shocking part: this massive failure is actually BULLISH for NIO's future.In this deep dive analysis, we break down:

On February 21st, President Trump issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum making it the policy of the U.S. government to stop underwriting the Chinese Communist Party.  Three months later, Jamie Dimon's JP Morgan and Brian Moynihan's Bank of America flouted that “America First Investment Policy.” They helped arrange for Americans and others to invest over $4.6 billion in a Hong Kong initial public offering of a Pentagon-designated “Chinese military company.” The Financial Times reported yesterday that 47 other Chinese corporations are now in the process of following the lead of that company known as CATL – one involved in providing advanced electric batteries to make Chinese submarines more lethal threats to our Navy and sailors. We must stop financing our mortal enemy and hold accountable those like Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan who profit from selling out America.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People's Republic of China.  With Beijing's imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.   Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland's totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party's edicts. And Hong Kong's capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.  An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen. This is Frank Gaffney.

A világ vezető akkumulátorgyártója, a CATL felfüggesztette debreceni gyárának második ütemének előkészítését. Dr. Szunomár Ágnessel, a Corvinus egyetemi docensével, a KRTK tudományos főmunkatársával azt tekintettük át, hogy mindez milyen következményekkel járhat hosszú távon. A műsor második részében Pál Károly, a Double Ring Wings Kft. ügyvezetője segítségével áttekintettük, mennyiben változtatta meg a dróntechnológia fejlődését az orosz-ukrán háború, és milyen lehetőség kínálkoznak a dróntechnológiára szakosodott hazai vállalatok számára a hadiiparban.

China is reportedly developing high-speed torpedoes that will use artificial intelligence to overcome the use of decoys and other techniques in order to destroy our submarines. Should that happen, it would negate one of the few remaining advantages our navy enjoys over the Chinese Communist Party's considerably larger and increasingly well-armed one. It would also compound the betrayal JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan inflicted by raising $4-plus billion for a Pentagon-designated “Chinese military company” called CATL. It's extending the lethality of Chinese non-nuclear attack submarines with advanced lithium ion batteries.  Those CEOs need to be held personally accountable for increasing the danger to American sailors with funds supplied by American investors. In so doing, they have violated President Trump's vitally needed “America First Investment Policy” and created a diabolical precedent for further underwriting our enemy via Hong Kong. This is Frank Gaffney.

European and Asian investors have pumped record sums into global equity funds that exclude the US market, and shares in Chinese battery maker CATL surged 16 per cent on their debut in Hong Kong. The EU plans to levy a flat fee on billions of small packages entering the bloc, mainly from China. Plus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing calls to scale back his military operation in Gaza and let more aid into the enclave.Mentioned in this podcast:Investors flock to equity funds that exclude US after Trump's return to powerChinese battery maker CATL surges 16% in biggest listing of 2025EU to impose €2 tax on low-cost items in blow to Temu and SheinUK halts trade talks with Israel over Gaza offensiveIsrael's Gaza aid plan could lead to ‘war crime', UN agency chief saysBenjamin Netanyahu says Israel plans to take over all of GazaToday's FT News Briefing was produced by Sonja Hutson, Kasia Broussalian, Lulu Smyth, and Marc Filippino.
