I don't see how China focusing on building EV cars is somehow weakening worker protections or damaging the environment more than building ICE cars. They have issues, but none of that is related to the topic of the article.

You can sell your cars much cheaper if you barely pay the workers and don't invest in safety equipment.

This question has been investigated fairly thoroughly for PV solar and scale of manufacturing and government support are far bigger factors.

Remember PV and EV are technology, getting smaller, cheaper, better as it iterates.
