Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to wear masks in densely industrialized because of the poor air quality.

To achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, China’s Association of Automobile Manufacturers believe that conventional internal combustion cars must be replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives no later than 2035.

Deputy secretary-general of China’s Association of Automobile Manufacturers Shi Jianhua stated that hybrid powertrains are the optimal choice. Jianhua stating that improvements in automotive electrification will help the transition to hybrid vehicles.

China hasn’t yet established a proper plan to ban fossil-fuel cars and switch entirely to hybrids and NEVs (new energy vehicles). However, there is still a decade and a half left to work towards the goal.

Shi Jianhua estimates that new-energy vehicles such as hybrids, electric cars and fuel-cell vehicles would account for half of the Chinese automotive market by 2035. This would in turn have a strong impact on reducing China’s carbon footprint.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Production in China

Currently, China is the largest emerging electric vehicle market in the world. EV manufacturers such as Tesla are already establishing production points and showrooms all around the country.

The Geely owned Polestar division of Volvo is also developing two models in the Middle Kingdom. They also have plans on starting production for a 3^rd type. Founded in 1997, Geely Auto Group is a leading automobile manufacturer based in Hangzhou.

The Percept Concept is expected to be built at a brand-new facility in China, a Polestar spokesperson declared.

Furthermore, the concept follows the Chinese carbon reduction purpose, aiming to be the lowest carbon footprint vehicle in China.

As of 2020, China accounted for half of the electric vehicle sales worldwide, and the percentage is expected to go up in years to come.

This decision is being taken by the GCHQ and other departments as the consequences are being weighed to make a decision for or against.

The Reason For The Change In Policy

There are talks of putting a ban in place after officials in Washington DC made claims that Huawei is a threat to national security. The claim is based in part on the belief that the company is owned or backed by China’s military service.

These are just claims for now and the company has fully denied these claims. However, there is more than what meets the eye. The reason the government is urging a change in policy is that if they continue with this decision then there may be sanctions from the U.S.

A review is on its way where it will be understood how the U.S. sanctions will affect the UK’s use of products by Huawei. These sanctions are most likely to take place from September onward which is why the UK needs to start rethinking its policy from now on.

Huawei and any other manufacturer that makes its chips using U.S. technology and software will be forbidden to do so once these sanctions are implemented.

Because of this, the company will face many problems. Firstly, there is a high chance that it will lose accessibility to its software. The design, testing, processing, and production of the software will not be accessible by Huawei.

This will restrict their production and the company may suffer some financial losses because of it as well. The U.S. is imposing the sanctions out of fear that China will use Huawei for spying.

They are making Huawei out to be a threat to national security which may force the UK to also change its stance and policy. The UK wants to make its telecom industry safe and secure and so many policymakers are urging for a change towards Huawei as it may threaten their security as well.

However, some members are also urging the government to not become collateral damage in this feud between the US and China. This is why they are not in support of the ban and urging everyone to review every possibility before imposing it.

This is a developing story and the members of parliament will discuss this issue again at House of Commons to review the implications of this ban. Once they have made a decision, it will seal the fate of the UK on this matter and the consequences of it will only be known once the decision is made public.
