China is absolutely right here. They won't meet their commitments with their trade restricted like so, and the rest of the world won't meet their commitments with China constrained by EV tarrifs.
The "developed" world, in particular, has shot itself in the foot here. Who gives a fuck about "losing ground economically/industrially" if the expense of "staying ahead" is the survivability of the planet itself?
Don't answer that question. Anyone who thinks they are rich or whatever enough to "escape earth" and the consequences of failure here is of an idiocy beneath noting.
