Or you know, the government could just match Chinese industry subsidies so they’re competing on level playing fields.
China’s government is using government power to invest in critical and necessary industries that benefits everyone, like renewables and EVs, driving down their costs.
The US instead spends it’s money investing in fossil fuel companies, and letting billionaires hoard it, and then complains when Chinese EVs are cheaper. You’re the richest fucking country in the world. Stop fucking whining and start using your wealth to produce competitive EVs. It’s not that fucking complicated.

They would have to go back in time and apply those subsidies 15 years ago. Chinese are so far ahead at this point, US stands little chance of catching up. Couldn’t hurt though.
