China's Xiluodu Dam, one of the world's largest hydropower stations, has completed a full transition from Western-made industrial control chips to domestically produced ones. This shift was driven by national security concerns and the need to enhance supply chain resilience, particularly in light of vulnerabilities to cyber threats such as the Stuxnet worm. Previously reliant on Western suppliers like Siemens and Schneider, the dam's control systems now utilize home-grown chips to mitigate risks associated with foreign technology. Meanwhile, in France, there is renewed momentum in the electric vehicle sector, with discussions highlighting improvements in electric car autonomy and a growing confidence among French consumers despite earlier apprehensions. The French industry is seen as regaining ground against Chinese competition in the electric vehicle market. Additionally, China's Yarlung Zangbo hydropower project, situated at an altitude of 3,000 meters, continues to deliver substantial clean energy with a capacity of 60 million kilowatts, overcoming challenging geological conditions.
