Abstract

China’s industrial policy is reshaping global competition. Massive investment, state support and a relentless focus on technological development have helped Chinese companies become global leaders in sectors such as EVs, batteries and solar. As European industries feel the pressure, what can Europe learn from China’s playbook – and what not to do?
