Which would be ok if we more effectively were able to include externalities into company's overhead, instead of constantly subsidizing them.

This argument would make more sense if Chinese companies were all going out of business due to their governments heavy investments in solar and batteries.

Which is a good thing because solar + batteries is literally the easiest way to make profit currently, and will get more profitable year over year.
