China pursued their low-carbon agenda not in response to climate change, but because of its own energy insecurity.
Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam have a sizeable presence in the global REE supply chain – now a geopolitical focal point – but although they may have substantial reserves, their REE production levels are still lower than China's.
Energy transition research addressing the range of equity concerns across India’s socioeconomic groups and regions is rare. This needs to change.
Last December's launch of Malaysia's first national EV could spur local component production, but this could be constrained by market conditions while the country's old supply chain, in which the carmaker remains heavily invested, will endure.
