For every EV built, Chinese government pays the manufacturer, but it’s not exclusive to EVs built for the domestic market. It’s EVs built for any market.
That’s tens or hundreds of billions each year that the Chinese government could spend on its own people, but instead spends on trying to make western car companies bankrupt.
Is it actually better in some way for Chinese people in their day to day lives if non-Chinese people to get cheaper cars, or is that modern day colonialism, trying to gain more resources in the long term at the expense of people living in other countries?
OK, look buddy, I’m really not a fan of genocidal anti-democratic autocracies, but with your silly arguments you’re making me argue for them. Yes, it’s good for the average Chinese person. The average Chinese person gets a fucking national heavy industry, with millions of jobs in manufacturing, R&D, services etc. Are we really going to pretend here that does not benefit Chinese workers?
And are we really going to be shedding crocodile tears that it’s somehow unfair to us in the West when we have been glazing billionnaire’s dicks for the last 40 years of the neoliberal era? We have built an economy on neoliberal fantasies of trickle down economics, we empowered money hoarders to do financial speculation and all it got us is the 2008 meltdown when even fucking Ayn-Rand-fuckboy Alan Greenspan admitted he had the model wrong.
And since 2008, we have concentrated insane wealth in fucking insane billionnaire hoards while our societies suffer under austerity, with no investments in actually meaningful education, in industry, in research beyond bullshit bubble schemes like AI. And now we cry for “colonialism”? Give me a break. Give me a fucking break. We cut our own dicks with fifteen years of austerity and under-investment. And now that the Chinese learned our game and are beating us in our own fucking game, we cry “colonialism”? Colonialism doesn’t get anywhere near to what they’re doing. Colonialism is what we’ve been fucking doing for 200 years to the entire Western Hemisphere and Africa. Now we cry “colonialism” when we don’t have the fucking balls to build an economy that’s not predicated on sucking capitalist dick? Give me a break.
Well maybe neoliberalism was a bullshit economic theory all along and state intervention is actually superior.
