Unfortunately the U.S. chooses to subsidize consumption as opposed to production.

This fits well with the corporate donor driven political system where the government puts no pressure on the corporations on their production side allowing them to outsource their production to the rest of the world and instead focuses on growing the American market and consumer demand for them.

Chinese EV subsidies are almost identical to American EV subsidies. They both subsidize consumption, in the form of rebates and tax credits for end consumers.

One of the largest recipients of Chinese EV subsidies is ... (drumroll) ... Tesla, an American company.
