The advertising campaign conducted by true propaganda experts, such as they are, continues, but the reality is profoundly different: after having literally invaded European ports for months and in particular Italian ones (primarily Livorno) with electric cars, for weeks now the main Chinese manufacturers have only been sending cars with the old, traditional and much harassed internal combustion engines to Europe.
The indications coming from the logistics sector, the shipping sector and Italian ports do not lend themselves to doubt with disconcerting analogies with other sectors (such as shipbuilding confined to Europe to niches such as that represented by cruise ships and with the Chinese shipyards ace takes everything for example in the container ship sector).
In this scenario it is really difficult not to imagine disconcerting backgrounds behind this commercial strategy which seems to recall Pelè’s incredible feints, so effective that they made the full-backs who were supposed to mark him drunk.
And the third parties (or accomplices) of this strategy are the Eurobureaucrats and politicians who, partly out of gullibility, partly out of unspeakable interests, have set the times for an energy transition which in the automotive sector is producing millions of unemployeddestroying one of the rare industrial chains in which Europe, led by Germany and partly Italian (we are talking about components, not Stellantis), had managed to maintain a world leadership.
By provoking and exploiting the European Green Deal, the Chinese car industries first opened a gigantic European breach, demonstrating their commitment to electric vehicles with the massive shipment of battery-powered cars, and then moved on to phase two: on the one hand, continuing to advertise the models, including SUVs, which should fly silently on European roads, but in practice blocking exports and partly the production of electric cars replaced by efficient and economical models with traditional engines, which they will face an enemy so weakened that it crawls on its knees in the market.
Curious how no media to date appears to have pierced the curtain of political correctness, perhaps by trying to verify what the gigantic car carrier ships coming from China actually unload in Italian ports. Or also taking a look at the rear doors and all the areas that are occupied by electric cars made in China, with related batteries, ready to deteriorate today in the cold, tomorrow in the sun, transforming large sections of territory into potential reclamation areas.
It is difficult today to misunderstand the signs of the perfect storm: Chinese brands such as Morris Garage, BYD, Foton, Polestar, are ready for the great commercial offensive, after having destroyed the trenches and cut the barbed wire that protected the large German manufacturers (and not only), everyone struggling with a collapse in sales, as well as with the problematic management of a plant closure plan and mass layoffs, to say the least.
For Europe and perhaps first and foremost for the Landini of the various European countries, in a world that is not upside down, the time has come (instead of fearing Trump’s duties) to turn the spotlight on the names of those (even within the institutions and of the union itself) has made the European market so vulnerable… Out of ideological impetus, stupidity, or convenience and connivance.
Echoing a phrase dear to the Five Star Movement, the silent invasion of Chinese cars with traditional engines is opening up the European market like a can of tuna, with Brussels incapable of any counter-move other than timidly postponing the timing of a diktat on high-performance cars. internal combustion engine, which in fact was already crazy. For China, the success of a masterly operation of industrial policy is emerging. Alternative policy to the traditional choice of hosting factories (and technology) of Western brands, opting (now that the technology has been acquired) to a direct production of cars branded with ideograms. To then face European competitors forced to close their factories, to manage social and employment crises and therefore “done to perfection” to be kicked out of the market not because they are ecologically not in line with the energy transition, but because they are now debilitated and incapable of facing competition on production and sales prices.
