An analysis of the domestic and foreign value added in the EU&#8217;s automotive exports reveals &#8220;an interesting trend,&#8221; according to the European Statistical Office. <strong>&#8220;China has emerged as a key player in the automotive industry, not only as a significant importer of EU vehicles but also as a crucial supplier of inputs required by the EU automotive sector for its export.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/20623628\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/visualisation\/20623628\/thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"chart visualization\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>In essence, the European Union sells to China and increasingly relies on China for materials to produce the cars sold globally. The\u00a0situation,\u00a0once again, demonstrates the increasingly delicate ties of economic dependence with Beijing. The control over European ports &#8212;\u00a0 and,\u00a0more generally,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/2024\/10\/28\/ecb-china-influence-eurozone-increases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a growing presence in the economies of countries in the single-currency\u00a0that raises the concerns even for the\u00a0ECB<\/a>\u00a0&#8212; are anything but recent phenomena. Eurostat data only confirm once again Chinese expansionism in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>This shift in the balance intersects\u00a0with politics across the Atlantic. The United States has historically been the primary driver of EU value added in vehicle products, accounting for over 22 percent of the total domestic value added in 2015. In recent years, however, China has emerged as the leading final user, surpassing the United States in significance. This shift represents an increase of 7.7 percentage points\u00a0in China\u2019s share compared with 2015. This shift will\u00a0likely affect EU-US relations when the new president, Donald Trump, takes office in the White House (January 20, 2025).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurostat certifies rising influence of the Asian economy.
