Shouldn't we be writing thank-you notes to the Chinese tax payers who so graciously subsidies cheap cars for us?

I agree that Chinese workers and tax payers are hurt. But why do we need to 'defend' anything from their generosity?

I'd write a BIG thank you note to the Chinese taxpayers if they could send a direct cash payment instead, so I can use it towards my next EV purchase (of my own choosing).

Otherwise, I prefer not to participate in China's predatory pricing tactic enabled by illegal export subsidies to undermine foreign competitors and distort global market.
