Sure, everyone wants to be next China and is busy "emulating" them. Biden passed the IRA in 2022 which requires local critical material sourcing/manufacturing and excludes any materials, parts sourced from China, inspired by China's anticompetitive practices since 2015. This practice is commonly called local content requirement (aka, LCA) in international trade lingo, and one of the two subsidies prohibitions under the WTO SCM Agreement.

Guess who's whining? China filed a WTO complaint (WT/DS623) against the US IRA earlier this year, accusing the US of violating what China has violated past 10 years.

The EU is also working on theirs, called CRMA approved earlier this year, but nothing that would match Papa Xi's blatant protectionism; or China's annual $270B fossile fuel subsidies to support cheap energy or overcapacity; or China's insatiable appetite for coals and carbon emission.

Everything you cited is just putting up more barriers and decoupling. None of that result directly in EV or green energy development.

Sounds like you're proving my point: they care more about protectionism than about averting global climate disaster.

Sure, that's because everything China did since 2015 was just putting up more barriers to delay green energy development or EV transition for everyone else. China hates it when other do the same to promote their local clean energy development as it inteferes with their quest for domination.

Yep, exactly. It's not "sounds like" -- China's protectionist, mercantilist trades practices have no place in this side of the water. The world is really not too interested in China's weaponization of clean energy or resources.

So you're saying Chinese protectionism prevents US and EU from developing green technology, and that's why US and EU will now also engage in proctionism, even though US and EU still don't have sizable green technology development after doing so, and that is also China's fault??

You're not making sense.

Sure, sometimes you fight evil with evil. I've also already cited multiple sources on how China delayed everyone's transition to EVs and now as a result both the US/EU in particular are now having to build their own supply-chain from ground up to counter China's weaponization of clean energy initiatives.

No need to pretend Papa Xi's mercantilism is all about original innovation, working 996, or Qian Xuesen's vision.
