The report, published by \u200bthe \u2064Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), highlights the potential\u2063 risks to critical infrastructure, data security, and supply \u2064chain integrity in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The report&#8217;s author, \u200dCraig \u200bSingleton, emphasizes the\u200b importance of addressing these risks, stating that while the growth of these industries aligns\u2063 with the White House&#8217;s climate and renewable energy goals, it also poses significant threats. Singleton uses China&#8217;s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) as\u2062 a case study\u2064 to\u2063 illustrate these risks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/companies-will-have-to-choose-a-side-in-us-china-tech-competition-cybersecurity-analyst-5515537?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Companies Will\u200b Have to &#8216;Choose a Side&#8217; in US\u2013China\u2064 Tech Competition: Cybersecurity Analyst<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; \u206310\/23\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/biden-admin-launches-31-tech-hubs-to-boost-us-innovation-5515350?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Biden \u2064Admin Launches 31 &#8216;Tech Hubs&#8217; to Boost US Innovation<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 10\/23\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CATL gained \u200battention earlier this\u2062 year when \u200cFord Motor Co. \u2064announced a partnership\u2064 with the Chinese electric \u2063vehicle\u200d (EV) battery maker. Concerns were raised about national security \u200dand the reliance on China&#8217;s supply chain. \u2062The FDD report argues that CATL&#8217;s\u2062 success is largely due to CCP subsidies, favorable policies,\u2063 and relaxed safety requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The report also highlights the political\u2062 and business environment in China,\u2064 demonstrating \u200dthat CATL operates within the CCP&#8217;s laws and military-civil fusion demands. CATL&#8217;s founder and chairman, Zeng Yuqun, is a member of the Chinese People&#8217;s Political Consultative Conference \u200d(CPPCC), further solidifying the company&#8217;s\u2062 ties to the party-state.<\/p>\n<p>The report warns that CATL&#8217;s products, including EV charging and \u2062battery storage solutions, could be potential targets for intelligence collection, cyber espionage, and sabotage.\u2063 The installation of malicious software in\u2064 public charging equipment could lead to the tracking of EV\u200d users for extended \u2064periods.<\/p>\n<p>CATL batteries\u2063 are currently used in renewable\u2063 energy generation sites across several US states, including Florida, Virginia, Nevada, and\u200c California, as well as a\u2064 solar farm on leased land within Marine Corps \u200dBase Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u2063does the CCP&#8217;s support for companies like CATL pose a\u2063 threat to America&#8217;s national \u2064security and economy?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ase study to illustrate the potential risks. CATL is the world&#8217;s largest producer of electric vehicle batteries and has received extensive backing from the CCP.<\/p>\n<p>Singleton argues that the CCP&#8217;s support for companies like CATL allows them to exploit green energy technology for their own strategic and political purposes. He points out that these companies may use their technology to collect sensitive data and gain intelligence advantages over\u2063 the United States. \u200cThis poses a significant\u200c threat to America&#8217;s national security and economy.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major concerns raised in the report is the risk to critical infrastructure.\u200d Singleton\u2063 highlights how the CCP-backed\u2063 companies\u2062 could potentially infiltrate and compromise vital systems such as power grids and\u2062 communication networks. This could result \u200cin severe disruptions and\u2063 put\u2063 the US at\u2063 a significant disadvantage in times of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Data security is\u200b another area of concern. The report \u2063warns that these\u200d companies may \u2062use their \u200caccess to green energy technology to gather sensitive information, both on a commercial and governmental level. This could lead to intellectual\u2063 property theft, economic\u200c espionage, and the manipulation of markets. Such activities not only harm American companies but also undermine fair competition and the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Supply chain integrity is also a\u2062 major issue highlighted in the report. The CCP&#8217;s support for companies like CATL gives them control over the manufacturing and distribution of crucial\u200b components for\u200c green energy technology. This \u2062control allows them to potentially manipulate supply\u2063 chains, disrupt market \u200bstability, and undermine American companies&#8217;\u2062 competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The report\u200d concludes by calling for a comprehensive \u200capproach to address these risks. \u2062It suggests increased scrutiny and regulation of Chinese Communist Party-backed companies operating in strategic sectors\u200b such as green energy technology. It also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-green-tech-companies-pose-national-security-risks-to-us-report-says\/\" title=\"Report: Chinese Green Tech Firms Pose US National Security Risks\">recommends promoting domestic \u200dinnovation<\/a> and\u2064 investment to reduce reliance on\u200d foreign sources, \u200bparticularly\u200d those backed by the CCP. Additionally, closer collaboration with\u2062 like-minded democracies to develop stricter standards and practices for data \u2063security and\u2064 supply chain integrity is encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of this report \u2063serve\u2062 as a\u2064 warning to\u2064 policymakers, \u200bbusinesses, and citizens about the\u200b potential risks posed by Chinese Communist Party-backed companies in the green energy technology \u2064sector. \u200dIt calls for urgent action \u2062to protect national security, data sovereignty, \u200band economic interests.
