According to the Chinese ambassador to South Africa, China plans to increase investment in the country’s electromobility sector. „We encourage the Chinese companies to consider, very seriously consider, to move some of their assembly lines or value added in South Africa,“ Wu Peng told Bloomberg news agency on Wednesday. China is South Africa’s largest trading partner, ahead of the USA and Germany. Alongside Morocco, South Africa has the continent’s largest automotive industry. In the future, however, the country now also wants to get involved in electromobility.
