    Chinese cars are heavily subsidized by the state

    Detroit has received $88B in subsidies and loans since 2008. That’s why we have so many cheap EV options?

      Heavily subsidized by misery, as well.

      Detroit pays union wages and has to respect worker rights (at the top end of the supply chain). The “communist “ state seems to escape these limited obligations in big parts of their supply chains.
