US government has done as much as it can to protect ICE cars, ICE workers, ICE unions, oil companies (US is #1 oil producing country).
I think what you're trying to say is that Chin has done a better job subsidizing its EV industry than the US has and China has more incentives to move towards an EV future.
For EVs generally regardless of where the carmaker is headquartered.

And were justly criticized for it even domestically.

Whataboutism. Two wrongs don't make a right.

EV incentives work similar to what the US has. You buy an EV and you get a tax credit, regardless of whether it's from GM or Hyundai. Cheating is when the subsidies are only available to domestic companies.
Other countries could do the same thing or punish China for it via tariffs etc., but doing nothing seems like a bad idea.
