Anyone who mentions China's subsides without mentioning the US's $2.5B - $3.0B in subsidies for EVs is ignorant and bluffing, or intentionally misleading you.





It depends on what they're worried about. A subsidy tied to car purchase is mostly irrelevant to an accusation of artificially cheap exports, because those subsidies don't apply to exports. Unless they're crazily large amounts or other manipulation is happening, they mostly just help the company scale faster and the export prices are legitimate.
