What is the difference? A subsidy is supposed to make non-profitable product profitable. If the product is becoming cheaper and more profitable because of government investment, what else could you possibly call that besides a subsidy?
I tried to read the article but it won’t let me.
The problem with anything green related is that it’s beyond fake. Three words : “We are fucked”.

The gist of the article is mainly: there isn’t any evidence China is actually subsidizing green tech, it’s just that land, labor, and materials are cheaper there and they’ve massively scaled production. The US and its allies claim that because their prices are so low they must be cheating, but there’s little evidence to support this, and retaliatory tariffs are kneecapping the West’s efforts to decarbonize.
I don’t need any convincing really. It’s the usual “they’re getting good at advanced tech, only us should be able to, let’s stiffle their progress”

I mean look at what they did to Huawei because it was getting too big.
retaliatory tariffs are kneecapping the West’s efforts to decarbonize.
It’s all a smokescreen anyway. Europe sends it un unrecyclable e-waste to Africa, CO2 tax is an unfunny joke, USA doesn’t believe in global warming.
Eh,It does not matter really. As i said, we’re fucked.
It’s funny and sad people find it so easy to deny China is good at tech stuff, they’ve been spending huge money on education and tech development for at least thirty years now so it really shouldn’t surprise anyone they have huge numbers of very well educated tech professionals.
What’s really funny is it’s fine when corporation’s fire their whole workforce and get their product made in China but it’s terrible if I buy something from a Chinese company? Ok.
