Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

NEW: I tracked all Chinese lithium battery factories announced or built in the past decade 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 China's borders. The truth is, companies like CATL & BYD are so technologically advanced that there's little international competition. European and Asian countries are welcoming them with open arms.

Last June, Macron was in a Chinese battery factory in France praising the investment. This week he doubled down in Davos and said China is welcome to invest in Europe if it can “contribute to our growth, to transfer some technologies, and not just to export towards Europe.”

With help from @rhg.com, I mapped 68 factories in the world that are either set up by a Chinese company, by a joint venture with Chinese stakes, or by licensing the crucial manufacturing technologies from a Chinese battery maker.

I also looked at what the batteries' end uses are, how big the production capacity will be, and whether they are up-and-running. I'm really proud of the visualizations we have in the end, showing both the big picture of battery manufacturing activities globally but also the regional nuances.

A chart titled Battery Factories by Region. It breaks down the 68 factories by six regions (Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Rest of Asia, Africa, and South America). It also uses different icons to represent the primary end use of the battery products in each factory.

If "Made in China" still means cheap gadgets from a Shenzhen factory, what should we call the cutting-edge battery manufacturing facilities that are being built by Chinese companies across the world? You can read more about the trend and interact with our data here. www.wired.com/story/chines...

China’s lithium batteries aren’t always “made in China.” Companies like BYD and CATL are building factories on nearly every continent.
