I love how they keep trying to frame it as a problem with the Chinese model and subsidies as opposed to asking what prevents other countries from doing the same. Seems to me that the real question is why western countries aren't able to compete with China on price and quality of products. It's as if the market model the west keeps peddling is being proven to be far less efficient than state driven central planning.
At this point I'm not sure the west could plan things centrally and succeed. They would have to go through several cycles of trial and error. China has been building it's capacity for decades. And it benefits from its democratic centralism/SWCC/Marxism. Then again companies like Amazon can manage it…
Not only that, but I don't think that it would even be possible under the current system run by financial capital. You'd need fundamental systemic change to even attempt it.
