The installation of a Chinese plant next to the Ferrol naval base raises alerts in Defense and the CNI
There is concern about the risk of espionage at the military arsenal and the Navantia shipyard, which work with advanced US combat systems.
The Galician Minister of Economy and Industry, Marisa Jesús Lorenzana, has described it as "the largest international project to arrive in Galicia in recent decades". This involves the construction in Ferrol (A Coruña) of the first plant in Europe of SAIC Motor, China's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, owner of the MG brand, which sells more than 350,000 vehicles a year in the European market.
Its objective is to avoid the high tariffs that the EU has imposed on Chinese cars ―up to 45% ― , which are accused of flooding the Community market with their low price, by setting up within the borders of the Union.
