To be fair, this is denying government subsidies, which is more of a free market than giving subsidies. This is especially true for Chinese companies, since they are by definition state-owned.
This is US car companies using their paid off politicians to make the US pressure another country into not making a deal that would increase competition in that market to their detriment .That’s many layers of fuckery deeper.
Everything you said is true, except you are missing the context that this is for-profit US car companies not wanting to compete against state-owned car manufacturers who get all of their money from China and can take huge losses in order to outsell for-profit, private entities.
Is it that if they’re just blocking the vehicles that are subsidized? Let’s see what these EVs sell for without the Chinese government paying half the production costs.
I fucking love freedom and the free market 🦅🥲

If they’re blocking subsidized vehicles they’d have to block US companies
