@kentwillard yeah. China has engaged in a lot of demand-side EV subsidies (regulatory relief, outright kickbacks to buyers) as well as a lot of supply-side subsidy. China, to be fair, also does control and quite directly limit foreign manufacturers' market access when it deems strategic to do so. 100% tariffs are perhaps a foolishly transparent way to do this, and it's foolish to isolate domestic manufacturers from competition, but it's not "playing dirty" given prerogatives China asserts.

@kentwillard China is very wise to insist domestic producers compete for export markets, which helps counter the ill-effects of domestic market protection.
