    Yeah, it’s so unfair that China is subsidizing the green transition!

    Also, are we just forgetting about the unfair competition from subsidized farmers in the US destroying Mexican farms and forcing them to travel north to do agricultural labor in the US?

      The subsidies aren’t for the green transition, the subsidies are there to get more influence on the markets, and not just the car market. Outprice the competition…

      And no I didn’t forget about “what about…”

      Sadly both have a same goal. Both influence competition in a bad way.

        Uh huh, then why aren’t they subsidizing gas cars to the same extent?

        Subsidizing electric cars is good and y’all need to stop making excuses.
