The Race To Beat China's De-Industrialisation Of Europe | Made In Europe (2024) | Full Film

A tsunami of cheap electric vehicles from China could lead to a nightmarish de-industrialisation in Europe. Dr Peter Tom Jones, a well known climate author, is convinced that Europe has to take the full value chain back in its own hands, from mine to electric vehicle. He undertakes a road trip in the Nordic countries to visit iconic mines and show best practices. He talks to the indigenous Sami people and to European leaders.

When the first Japanese import cars debuted in USA, the big, proud American auto workers ridiculed them as made from Budweiser beer cans.

With the announced Clean Industrial Deal, there is hope for improvement. But it must be aimed at stimulating (at least partially) made-in-Europe EV/cleantech production, incl. future recycling. We need measures such as a minimum made-in-Europe/recycled material content; trade defense mechanisms against ESG-unfriendly imports of metals, batteries, EVs/cleantech; output-based OPEX support; stable and lower energy prices; faster and predictable permitting procedures; green public procurement with ESG/made-in-Europe criteria at its core; favorable tax rates for leasing cars; social leasing formulas for the broader public;… "

Import tarifs are fair as the EU is trying to decorbonise, but it should not be a immediate change in tarif price but an exponential one. Meaning start out low and increase it heavly to ensure local producers and give international ones the warning and show them that there will be a shift and give them the window to react. The new and good steal producers in China for example will easily be able to implement/already use low carbon processes and the ones who can't have to start to shift anyway as China wants to be Carbon neutral as well. This tariff would be really good for developing nations as well because their carbon intesity will decrease as their supply of steel thanks to Chinas overproduction will increase. Everyone will win if implemented the right way. It even might benifit China more as their shift to less carbon intesive steel and products would make their enviroment and people healthier and developing nations develop faster because of cheap and good quality supplies redirected from Europe.

European culture as its core revolve around aristocracy and privilege, has been for thousands of years, whereas Chinese culture fundamentally revolve around meritocracy and ability, and it also has been this way for thousands of years. A culture of aristocracy naturally expect others to give them money based purely on identity, asking them to provide competitive products would be asking them to become meritocracies, and meritocracy is fundamentally incompatible with European culture. Until European culture gets uplifted into a higher level, they will never be able to compete with meritocracies.

Fair metals? Please make it sense that we want to pay more for everything whereas rest of world works on technologies that decreases prices.

In the next 15 years we need a 4200% increase in Lithium, a 2100% increase in Cobalt, etc. These numbers are NEVER going to happen. Meanwhile, consumers are learning first-hand that EV ownership is a massive headache. Insurance is expensive, charging is expensive, and the range is terrible. Oh yeah, EVs (especially the cheap ones) are also prone to *spontaneous combustion* that will burn your house down and kill your family. We need better alternatives than the current technology, which is being mandated before it has adequately matured.

Previously one would've thought that only Uncle Sam would blame his inability to get his girlfriend pregnant on the milkman, the postman and his neighbors for not helping out in getting his own girlfriend pregnant. Never thought the day would come that Uncle Brussel would do the same.

If China has more resources than Europe, more cheap workers and low prices, European industry has to invent new ways to make more sustainable and cheaper cars!

Economic power has always been backed up with military power. Economics is not merely economics. Economic power and military power go hand in hand. When you challenge the economic power, you better have the military power to back it up.

This is the dream of the EU. It's not about climate, it's about Europe becoming energy independent. That's why they want to have all resources from within the EU or second option the US or other western countries. But the green dream seems kind of impossible when you use the calculator...

[@roberthealey7238]

The question to be answered for Chinese vehicles is durability, repairability and longevity, especially in European climates. Their manufacturing model is based on old US 80’s model of cheap mass quantity/cheep labor over all other considerations which was prevalent when US corporate raiders moved the manufacturing capabilities from US to China in the 80’s/90’s. Great model for cheap, disposable consumer items, doesn’t usually work well for long term durable items like appliances and vehicles.

Only way the European Nations can be competitive is by Colonising (free resources) this is what until a few months ago was happening in West Africa?

[@fhlbadenhorst]

The very title of this video exposes your bias. Its not within China's power to de-industrialize Europe. The de-industrialization of Europe, and other economies for that matter, is a choice made by each of the affected sovereign states. Perhaps not conciously, but definitely through bad decisions; mostly to do with short term gain, as opposed to long term prosperity. Blaming others for one's own limitations is shameful.

when european flooded cars to china , the chinese did not complain, is not fair,

[@RaniVeluNachar-kx4lu]

That's the problem with a Green Ethos No Nuclear Power, no heavy manufacturing and no massive military and technology complex. Thus we have Europe in the 14th century again, just a happy pastoral haven of happy, wealthy people. Well wealthy, maybe not except for a few. After all Europe is none more typified than England. No massive investment in Sovereign Wealth for future, or even just to augment the government's ability to support social welfare programs. No, Norway and Stat Oil was the best of the whole Industrial 20th century. Just making 100 billionaires will NOT save a country. They can expatriate their wealth with a call to their Bankers.

Europe is much more concerned with the 21st century Sami culture. Too bad when Europeans landed in North America and those ensuing 150 years after, there was no concern for the indigenous peoples of North America.

“Because the THREAT that China represents is simply based on its EXISTENCE! - . . . that’s all. It has nothing to do with what China DOES or what China SAYS. The fact that it EXISTS and has those great and growing capabilities - it becomes intolerable - both in strategic thinking terms - and also in emotional psychological terms for America.” Professor Michael Brenner

[@tulta3631]

There is a big problem with this title: China itself is deindustrializing. Has EU been asleep as to what is happening domestically in China? The economy is real bad, worse that Europe. Yet the absurdity to think that we should be afraid of Chinese competition when Chinese themselves can't afford the same European products anymore.

Sorry, but did he mention how long it would take to drill that 5 kilometers out? Let's assume that those 1.3M Tons of REM's is valuable, and the need is important, why would that need to use a relatively small bit system? Maybe I am no mining engineer, as that is obvious? But it may be a structural issue. Just can't bore like they do in London or Singapore expanding their underground transit system. Probably different composition of rock being drilled.

European and American factory workers are getting paid 5-10 times more than their Chinese counterparts, but they are not 5-10 time more productive and innovative, Europeans especially want long summer holidays and short working hours. Then there must be consequences of you taking liberty on those matters, it’s not fair to blame the Chinese when you can’t compete

When you teach your enemy how to defeat you then you shouldn't be surprised when they put those lessons into practice and do it.

Imho. We are still walking around the elephant in the room. The need to democratize the world. Without this we won't create a clean world we democratic countries are aiming for.
