to answer one question very simply Why would the EU finance a project with grants and soft loans to have the Chinese come in and take if off out hands? EU wants to be 80% self sufficient I belive,
I do think that of course there could be deals done with companies outside the EU where EU need more Lithium etc at certain times and the Chinese for instance could have an arrangment with any ot he companies with in the EU , as we know VW are in China and who knows what deals they might like to arrange, all total speculation , but I do think the EU wouldnt loan money to a company for the Chinese to take advantage its for the EU , to make itself a powerhouse, look at all those Giga factories! I wonder if they have any loans and grants?
