Spain allows Chinese MG plant despite concerns
The Spanish government intends to approve a plan by the Chinese state-owned company SAIC to build a car factory in Galicia, despite intelligence warnings about security risks due to its proximity to a strategic naval base in Ferrol. The site is located just five kilometers from the port, which serves as a major hub for the Spanish Navy and the F-100 frigates involved in NATO missions. Construction of the factory is expected to begin in 2027, with a plan to produce around 120,000 cars annually for the MG brand, and operational start-up is targeted for 2028. Despite security concerns, the Spanish Minister of Defense and local officials support the project, which is currently awaiting final approval from the Strategic Investment Committee. There is also a possibility that security conditions will be imposed to protect sensitive information.
