    Biden is expected this week to quadruple tariffs on Chinese EVs and sharply increase levies for other key industries. The moves are designed to safeguard the effectiveness of investments that his legislation is making in those same sectors in the US.

    “The president wants to make sure that he protects these investments,” Yellen said. “He believes it unacceptable — as I do — to be completely dependent on China in these areas,” given that Beijing engages in massive subsidies and “is really not playing by the rules.”

    Our "effective investments" vs their "massive subsidies"

        Chinese charging networks exist because they're important infrastructure.

        What little American charging networks exist (but often don't work) are their through minor regulatory punishment.

      do the rules say it's ok to subsidize the hell out of corn?

      Is "not playing by the rules" here referring to Chinese government subsidies of EVs? How much is it subsidized anyway compared to say energy credits Tesla gets? Anyone have numbers to get a sense of scale of this claim?

      If the whole administration were swallowed by the earth, the world would be a slightly better place.

      with some factory inspectors refusing to visit the country over fears of arrest for spying and others denied entry to facilities

      What on earth could factory inspectors be spying for? Like I don't put it past them, but at this point I'd like to know.

        Probably more of a fear of the claim that they were spying... though how much of this fear is actual and how much of this is fabricated by the USA companies is not investigated in the text that I skimmed.
