I could be reading it wrong. The government invested 100m+ yuan into the company CellX last year so I wouldnt be surprised if it were subsidized. I can't find any up to date information of other types of cultured meat, seems pork is the cash cow right now. Comments on similar articles says the meat is only available in restaurants right now.

    Sure, but the competition is slaughterhouses, like the one I once visited that kills 10,000 pigs a day

    this is true but there is also the labor and costs that go into rearing the pig, growing the food to feed the pig, all the logistics involved

    much of which in America is heavily subsidised
