    The subsidies aren’t for the green transition, the subsidies are there to get more influence on the markets, and not just the car market. Outprice the competition…

    And no I didn’t forget about “what about…”

    Sadly both have a same goal. Both influence competition in a bad way.

      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.

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

            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.
