      Yeah, let’s just have a repeat of the rare earth market. That worked out swell for the world to let an authoritarian government have a global monopoly.

      You generally don’t want to incentivize the practice of dumping since its goal is putting competition out of business.

        Don’t really care about the competition. I care about having cheap access to EVs. If the competition can’t compete, then fuck em. That’s not my problem.

          This comment is the American consumer for the last 50 years, next step is complaining about outsourcing jobs and lower quality products with no competition.

            That only matters under an economic system that necessities competition.

            Change the economic system to one that encourages cooperation instead, and that won’t be an issue.

              So your solution is change the whole system so you can buy a dumped Chinese car without any guilt?

              Whilst I agree the system is broken, buying dumped goods only makes the situation worse as it means those players and playing on an uneven playing field
