Hungary’s Council Presidency is expected to push forward a controversial proposal for mass surveillance of private messenger chats within the European Union (EU), just months after the draft law was removed from the agenda due to widespread protests. The proposal, often referred to as "chat control," aims to implement large-scale, automated screening of private communications, including encrypted chats, to detect illegal content such as photos and videos.

As Chinese carmaker Chery sets its sights on the UK and broader European market, its ambitious expansion strategy raises serious questions about privacy, security, and the implications of consumer dependency on foreign, state-owned enterprises. This move is not just about cars; it is part of a broader strategy that could have profound consequences on our sovereignty, data privacy, and national security.
A Strategic Move
Chery's strategy begins with its bet on the continued demand for petrol cars in the UK, a nation that has long been seen as a gateway to Europe. As one of the few manufacturers offering a comprehensive range of petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles, Chery plans to cover all bases, ensuring that no consumer need goes unmet. This diversification is intended to capture a significant share of the market, appealing to both traditional petrol car enthusiasts and environmentally-conscious electric vehicle (EV) supporters.
However, this seemingly benign business strategy carries underlying risks. The focus on petrol vehicles might delay the UK's transition to more sustainable energy solutions, contradicting government initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Chery's offering could reinforce the status quo, potentially stalling innovation and environmental progress by perpetuating the use of internal combustion engines.
Affordable but at What Cost?
Chery's pricing strategy also deserves scrutiny. With petrol-powered vehicles starting at around £25,000 and electric versions at £33,000, the cars are positioned as affordable alternatives to existing European and Japanese models. This affordability, combined with attractive financing options and extended warranties, makes Chery's vehicles highly accessible to a broad spectrum of consumers. But affordability often comes with hidden costs.
State-owned enterprises like Chery may be able to subsidize prices, raising concerns about market manipulation. Lower prices could undercut local and foreign competitors, potentially leading to a monopolistic market controlled by a foreign power. This raises significant national security concerns, as economic dependence on a single country could limit policy choices and compromise national interests.
Chery’s plans to launch a more premium Jaecoo brand in the UK within 18 months and expand its dealer network from 60 to 100 outlets demonstrate its long-term commitment to the market. These expansion plans may seem like a positive economic development, but they could also be viewed as a strategic penetration of Western markets by a state-owned Chinese enterprise.
Such a network expansion isn't merely about selling cars; it’s about establishing influence and a physical presence. Each dealership represents a potential foothold in our economy, one that could be leveraged to gather consumer data, influence market trends, and exert subtle economic control. The more Chery's footprint grows, the more it strengthens its position and influence in the UK and European markets.
Have We Already Lost?
Chery's UK head, Victor Zhang, expressed confidence that the "Chinese tag or label will not stop the British consumers from considering us." This statement touches on a profound issue: have we become so accustomed to foreign-made products that their origins no longer matter? The infiltration of Chinese goods into every facet of British life raises questions about our sovereignty and self-sufficiency. Decades of foreign consumerism, particularly from China, have conditioned the market to prioritize price and convenience over origin and security.
The acceptance of Chinese products is not just an economic issue; it's a question of national integrity. In a world where data privacy is increasingly at risk, do we really want to invite products from a nation known for its surveillance and social credit systems into our homes and cities? Are we willing to trust that these vehicles, equipped with advanced telemetry and connectivity, will not become tools of data collection and surveillance?
While companies like Chery can afford to diversify their investments across different types of vehicles, smaller firms are forced to focus on electric cars. This discrepancy reveals the financial muscle of state-owned enterprises and the potential for these organizations to shape market dynamics. In a democratic society, this raises uncomfortable questions about the integrity of our markets and the influence of a communist state on our consumer choices.
China’s use of technology to monitor its own citizens is well-documented. The implementation of social credit systems, extensive surveillance networks, and tight control over information raises alarms. Should we be welcoming vehicles from a country where the state has such control over technology and data? The UK and Europe, by accepting these products, might be compromising their citizens' privacy and security.

In a notable move for Bitcoin advocacy, a viral tweet from the Orange Pill App has catalysed a campaign to educate members of the U.S. Congress about Bitcoin. The initiative involved distributing copies of The Bitcoin Standard, a prominent book on Bitcoin by author Saifedean Ammous, to congressional offices. The project aimed to increase awareness of Bitcoin’s potential impact and educate lawmakers about the digital currency.

The resurgence of mpox, also known as monkeypox, has raised concerns among global health experts about the effectiveness of current surveillance systems. Dimie Ogoina, a Nigerian professor and chair of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) emergency committee of independent experts on mpox, has emphasized that the lack of adequate surveillance is critically hindering efforts to monitor and manage the spread of the disease.
