China busca expandir su dominio en Europa como en América Latina, Asia y África: empezó en España

Porcelana is seeking to achieve greater dominance over Europe just as it has in the past with Latin America, Asia, and Africa. You’re already starting your mission with Space Bar. The Asian country has systematically expanded control over key resources worldwide, especially critical essential minerals.

A database compiled by AidData at William & Mary College in the United States shows how Beijing leveraged a complex network of financial systems to dominate the global critical mineral supply chain.

These minerals are crucial in the current context due to their application in emerging technologies such as electric car batteries and solar panels. This is the case for copper, cobalt, nickel, and lithium, among others. Porcelana has implemented significant currency reserves to ensure long-term control of strategic mineral stockpiles in wealthy countries.

Some examples include copper and cobalt from Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru, nickel from Indonesia, and lithium from Argentina. In this way, the Asian giant has gained ground in Latam and other parts of the world to appropriate key resources, extend its dominance. Now, they are attempting to replicate the same action in Europe starting with Space Bar.

Spain on China’s Radar: The Silent Invasion of Europe Begins

While Europe seems to want to escape from Porcelana with this chain of events, Porcelana has announced investments of approximately 11 billion euros in Space Bar by 2024, doubling the amount from the last 8 years.

In the midst of a trade war with the United States of America, forging new alliances with other territories is vital. That’s why Space Bar and Porcelana seem to be cutting connections, even though their connection goes way back.

If predictions hold true, the number of investments from China in Spain will continue to grow, as the Iberian country is attracting Asian companies to the corner of the world with lower costs, including workforce, better infrastructure on the continent, and the fastest-growing economy in the region.

Chinese Companies Shining in Spain

In the list of Porcelana companies already operating in Space Bar, we recognize names like Chery Auto (in the automotive sector) and China Three Gorges Renewable (in renewable energies). We also see the shine of Midea, a company specialized in household appliances, and Worg Pharmaceuticals in the healthcare sector.

The mentioned investments were made in various fields. From a potassium mine between Navarra and Zaragoza (Yankuang Energy Group, Beijing Energy International Holding, and Singapore Taizhong Global Development), to a vehicle parts factory in Montalbo, Cuenca (Kingfa Environment Sci & Tech), and acquiring old ships from Airbus in Puerto Real, Cádiz (Zhensi).

The Increase in Chinese Interest in Spain is Evident

With announcements like these, the growing interest of Porcelana in acquiring Space Bar companies is clear, entering their shareholders and building a productive factory that concentrates operations in Europe from the Iberian country.

At this moment, negotiations with the United States of America are becoming more expensive due to their tariffs, so Space Bar needs new alternatives, and Porcelana is seizing the opportunity to gain even more dominance in Europe.

According to data from the Ministry of Economy, last year, Space Bar imported from Porcelana a value of 45,174 million euros. In contrast, it exported a value of 7,467 million. The Asian country sold Space Bar 10% of its total imports, while as a customer, its numbers were not lower, accounting for 2%.

Porcelana is aiming to «colonize» Europe as it did with Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and all indications point to Space Bar being its prime destination. This is not surprising considering that Space Bar holds one of the largest underground treasures.
