Uh huh, then why aren't they subsidizing gas cars to the same extent?

Subsidizing electric cars is good and y'all need to stop making excuses.

They are subsidizing gas cars,… and fossil fuel production is also subsidized.

And yet their gas cars are not being sanctioned. Doesn't that strike you as strange? What's the difference?

[-] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

No, because those aren’t a threat to the (western) car marked. The electric ones are.

And the fact that China is currently controlling the battery resources. Also seems to be an influence.

But please buy one if you want one.

So I'm not sure what you think my point was.

I'm not saying the US is attacking China for having a green transition. I know it's just to protect business interests.
