You're already wrong. Electric cars already dominate the sub-$5000 car market in China.

But China's sub-$5000 cars are far from western safety standard

They are even far from Chinese ones, but the government is looking in another direction to give the time to the industry to ramp up.

And Chinese EVs that are up to safety standards are not cheap.

So I'm not sure your comparison is valid.
