    You’re moving the goalposts. You were literally thanking Xi for “saving the climate”.

    Once again, I am not having a pissing match about which country is better, I am discussing the success of electric vehicles from China.

        At least their “self-interest“ has cheaper EVs for the rest of the world as a result.

        It cannot be both. Either:

        1. CCP is subsidizing EVs to “save the climate” and they will stay cheap and subsidized forever because the communist dictator is actually just a totally super nice guy who cares about the global climate.

        2. CCP is subsidizing EVs to dominate the global market, after which prices will go sky high and economies around the world (including yours) will suffer, because they’ve driven out all of the competition.

        Which one do you think it is?
