As Laurent Pech and many others have argued, lack of efficient mechanisms isn’t really the problem…lack of political will is.
The commission is working on proposals that would include more efficient mechanisms to suspend rights or benefits if core values are violated. A country could potentially be kicked out the club in case of repeated breaches.

So if the survival of Europe's industrial base wasn't enough of a motivation not to go for a Chinese EV, not having your car weaponized against you sounds like another solid one.
Norway tested two different types of electric buses this summer -one from a Dutch and one from a Chinese manufacturer- to assess cybersecurity risks.
The tests revealed that the Chinese bus could be controlled and turned off remotely, while the European one could not.

Mein Eindruck ist, das gilt auch für die Forschung. Analysen zum Funktionieren des Autoritarismus und Rechtsextremismus sind wahnsinnig wichtig - aber Analysen zu Gegenstrategien auch und von denen gibt es leider viel weniger.
Ich finde es interessant, wie wenig und selten ich über Strategien reden höre, wie der neue Autoritarismus bekämpft werden kann. Klassisches, wie Sozialstaat stärken, 9Euro Ticket etc. - fair enough. Aber als akuten Plan für die kommenden 10 Jahre? Ich hör meist nur Analysen über den Doom Zustand.
