    The subsidies aren’t special at all compared to US and EU ones, and they’re apparently going to be phased out over the next 5 years. This supposed evil scheme just doesn’t seem to exist; the truth of the matter is that China just makes better and cheaper cars.

      China just makes better and cheaper cars.

      Why wouldn’t they?
      After decades of being the west’s factory they’d be stupid not to learn.
      And better is just upping the QA more than their western customers (who want the cheapest possible 'cos line must go up).
