    Cant access the article, here’s a dumb AI summary “The article by David Fickling on Bloomberg Law discusses China’s electric vehicle (EV) subsidy system. Fickling argues that China can’t reduce its EV subsidies because it isn’t actually paying them in full. While the Chinese government provides financial incentives to encourage the growth of the EV industry, much of the support is being delayed or deferred, and in some cases, the payments are not made at all. The article highlights the gap between China’s ambitious EV targets and the practical realities of its financial commitments, pointing out that many EV companies rely on the promise of subsidies, even though the actual funds have often not been disbursed as expected. This reliance on delayed payments could undermine the sustainability of the industry and the broader transition to electric vehicles.”
