    And the other context is that there are quite credible rumors of sabotage by Chinese equipment suppliers, making this takeover by a majority Chinese owned company more than a little suspicious.

    But IMHO is was stupid by Northvolt to just try to import Chinese battery-tech, and I think the states that provided subsidies for that will have some very hard lessons learned from getting played like that.

      Tnx for reminder, hadn’t thought of that context. And , agreed 100%.

      “think the states that provided subsidies”

      I hope so. Afaik, the EU has provided subsidies for (some) Chinese European cooperations in the past.
