Why CATL choose Germany to build factories but not USA Learned from TSMC’s lesson?

#TSMC #CATL #WorldChina As we all know, the United States is a developed country, and its currency, technology, and financial markets are not only tools for people's survival, but also the yearning for most people. In recent years, many Chinese companies have embarked on a global market journey and entered the US market one after another. TSMC is a typical example, but due to the rapid development of Chinese companies, some key technologies in China have slowly surpassed the United States. To this end, the United States has also begun to impose sanctions on Chinese companies, such as Huawei and TSMC. In November last year, the United States asked TSMC to hand over key chip cost data. Because TSMC has a plan to build a factory in the United States, TSMC was forced to hand over relevant data, which also left a revelation to Chinese companies, that is, to develop independent key technologies and get rid of foreign technology dependence as soon as possible. So, what if Chinese companies do not choose to develop in the United States? For example, CATL, a well-known Chinese battery manufacturer, like many other companies, plans to build factories overseas in order to better participate in globalization. According to the latest news I learned, CATL's first overseas factory in Germany has obtained the battery cell production license. In this regard, what is the significance of CATL's establishment of a factory in Germany? Or don't need to hand over core technology to the United States?
