Green Tech & EVs Drive the Future
European giants like BASF and Volkswagen are doubling down on China's green transition, with mega-projects like a $10 billion chemical complex in Guangdong. Meanwhile, China’s CATL is building a massive €7.3 billion battery plant in Hungary—fuelling Europe’s EV revolution. ⚡🚗
Decarbonization Dreams Go Global
Chinese investments are supercharging Europe’s climate goals. From Zijin Mining backing Serbia’s first EV factory to China dominating Hungary’s new energy projects, this isn’t just trade—it’s a cross-border sustainability sprint. 🌏🤝
