> If china wants to continue subsidizing their industry below costs of manufacture I see no reason why we shouldn't exploit their generosity to meet our climate goals as quickly as possible.

Are they even doing that? A few billion dollars a year is meaningful but it's not dumping for an industry this big.

Anyone who mentions China's subsides without mentioning the US's $2.5B - $3.0B in subsidies for EVs is ignorant and bluffing, or intentionally misleading you.

It depends on what they're worried about. A subsidy tied to car purchase is mostly irrelevant to an accusation of artificially cheap exports, because those subsidies don't apply to exports. Unless they're crazily large amounts or other manipulation is happening, they mostly just help the company scale faster and the export prices are legitimate.
