How does China have any ground to stand on at the WTO? If they haven’t banned an American company, they’ve certainly stolen its IP. The idea that it’s unfair that the US favors American companies with its EV subsidies is completely laughable. An American company cannot even operate in China without empowering a Chinese partner organization. Get the fuck out.
China is also heavily subsidizing their domestic ev cars
And yes, they’ve outright blocked many American- and other western companies. Including social media websites (that don’t comply with their censorship rules)
Exactly the same is true in reverse. Huawei is blocked, they are working hard on TikTok and DJI . zTE I think were also under investigation.
As for subsidies, most big US companies get hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies. Plus of course, the only reason there is still a White House on Pennsylvania Avenue is because the banks got a free trillion out of your pocket.
Fully agreed. And we may have precedent in addition to the moral high ground somehow on this issue – I was totally unaware that the WTO had ruled in favor of China that American steel and aluminum tariffs weren’t allowed, and the US simply told them both to get fucked.

I don’t mean this as ‘whataboutism’ - but we have to understand this is a multiplayer game.

That’s honestly a bigger story than this one.
Outdated info. Nowadays foreign automakers can operate in China without a joint venture.
