This whole “it’s cheating to subsidize industry!” Thing is hilarious when that’s literally just how it works everywhere.
The US subsidizes the meat, grain, and dairy industries then kill the agriculture industries of other countries and make them dependant on the US for food.
They also subsidized Tesla, a policy that was basically directly copied by China but now it’s bad.
The only reason the US can’t compete is the addiction to spending every penny on the MIC and weapons. Which hilariously, isn’t even panning out because they don’t have government operatives on the company boards that can prevent them from just pocketing that money.
They also subsidized Tesla, a policy that was basically directly copied by China but now it’s bad.
They did it more sensibly at least, the way they subsidised Tesla was by making other car manufacturers pay them a tithe so they could keep selling huge gas guzzlers based off the premise that Tesla would make electric cars in the future.
So they are accusing China that they successfully did typical capitalist competition approaches, just like Western countries were doing for centuries?
Yeah, but in a perfidious Asian way.
