Yes it is bad when those subsidies reduce the price of the car (or any other product) to half of what the competition is charging. This puts the competition out of business and gives consumers less options. Once the competition is gone, the price shoots up past what it would be initially because we have no other option. They've done this countless times in many industries.

Stellantis is mostly European, it's FIAT and Peugot with their other brands. I'm fairly certain they get enough subsidies and tax breaks. That this Italian/American/French company is registered in the Netherlands shows that some tax-dodging is involved as well. I think it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

(Also, Volkswagen Group is the bigger European car manufacturer.)

Also, electric cars such as Polestar (Volvo's EV brand, also Chinese these days) look much better than Tesla's.

Obviously, since they have the benefit of EU incentives that benefit all, and Chinese subsidies that only benefit manufacturing in China.

So I don't know what you mean by "Even in Europe"?

That doesn't mean EU should subsidize illegally and against general EU policy. Instead they are investigating if China production needs to have an import tax. Which is the correct way to handle this.

Absolutely, I agree XI is as dangerous as Putin IMO, and we shouldn't grant China any favors.
