    The Chinese government is intentionally subsidizing, and incentivizing their car companies to over produce and under price vehicles

    Wow that doesn’t sound like anyone else I know. Nope. No other country does that. I’m so glad that our inferior products are being propped up so well. Yay America.

      No they don’t. They aren’t cutting prices. They’re just maximizing profits. China is not the same.

          Not all subsidies are the same.
          The US isn’t giving the car manufacturers money per car, to ensure they make as many as possible, and sell them as cheaply as possible. The US subsidies are just gifts the the auto makers for simply having factories and saying they are keeping the industry in the US. They don’t serve any greater goal.
