That 2.8B is nothing compared to what China is likely doing.

That's just the way China operates when it's about anything it considers strategic.

That 3.4B China gave is also nothing compared to the 100% tariff on EVs that the US has levied on China made cars.

That's just the way the US operates when it's about anything it considers strategic.
