p.s. how would such "subsidization" work on a such a scale? if you think the EVs, PV panels, etc are cheap because the govt like, just covers the loss on every sale(?) where do they get all that surplus finance to cover labour and resources?
have you considered 'subsidies' can be used for accelerating R&D for national interest rather than some monopolistic plot

China's subsidies are comparatively much shorter.
While saying this did you not consider that subsidized Chinese companies would claim the exact same, with at least the same amount of legitimacy? The whole idea of monopolization is that it becomes impossible for competition to arise.
You also forgot to mention Uber which has had numerous competitors, both on the taxi front as well as food delivery.
> AliBaba has been around almost as long as Amazon.
No idea why it matters how long a company has existed. There are hundreds of thousands of companies that have been around for 2-3 decades.
And how is that a bad thing in comparision to the current status quo?
Solar panels are not high tech. You can build them yourself as a state in worst case. You cant make oil if you don't have oil.
It's a smart move to make everyone dependent on them.
