    The US heavily subsidizes its auto industry. Why is this being raised as a point against China? It’s not China’s fault that American auto companies use their subsidies to line their pockets instead of creating cheaper and better vehicles.

      And countries that have auto industries put tariffs on US cars too. They also don’t get nowhere near as much in subsidies per car sold abroad. And for the EV subsidies, foreign EVs were also eligible.

      China also tariffs foreign cars heavily and always has.
