EU needs to add repairability and recycling to the list of requirements for imported EVs if it hasn't already. 15-20 years for critical parts at least. China isn't going to care about all the junk that's going to pile up if they aren't built with repairability in mind.
That would be ironic considering European car brands are built with planned obsolescence in mind. Also I dunno why is it China's duty to deal with waste from a foreign country. With that logic, all scrapped VW, BMW and Mercedes around the world are to be the responsibility of Germany? You need to check your privilege.
