    China has even higher barriers for foreign companies to enter their market than Chinese companies have in the EU, USA, etc.

    The Chinese government protects Chinese corporations, the EU protects EU corporations. Not really “whinging”.

      Yes, except China has a clear and insurmountable advantage over EU or American automakers. The only ones losing here are the consumers. For every EU tariff, there’s a dozen countries in the southern hemisphere who are clamoring for an opportunity to buy cheap, good (enough) EVs.

      the EU protects EU corporations

      Yes. And that’s why they should stop blaming poor people for destroying the world with their old cars. You can’t have both.
