    When they do it, it’s “subsidies” When we do it, it’s “investment”

    The list of government incentives in the UK is long but If china is doing even more , that’s up to them right ? But it’s always implied it’s some kind of foul play.

      Just look at the Chinese ‘subsidies’ system and you’ll see it can’t be compared to those in the West for a variety of reasons. And then add to that the forced labour regimes in Xinjiang and at BYD’s factory in Brazil (the authorities in Brazil just closed a BYD factory because of ‘slavery’-like conditions).
