China can produce EVs that are as good as US EVs or better, for half the cost

The US has implemented tariffs on China, but this hasn't deterred China from continuing to produce EVs, which will still be sold in the US at higher prices for American consumers. This contradicts capitalist principles that competition should lower prices. Instead, this situation reflects protectionism, not capitalism, as it raises consumer costs. In reality, the US economy, often described as capitalist, exhibits more socialist tendencies compared to many global economies.

Despite the US government continuous interference in the economy, the wealth gap persists, favoring the rich while impoverishing the poor. The government's readiness to protect mega-corporations, while refusing to safeguard workers and consumers constitutes something far more sinister than capitalism.

Now, when an American company is threatened, whether it be Microsoft, Tesla or Facebook, the government can step in and issue tariffs, even ban the competition, e.g., the ban on TikTok. Now, when millions of Americans' livelihoods are threatened by the so-called capitalist, the government says, "that's just business."

Do you really think we are stupid?

OK Comrade.

Newsflash: China does not sell EVs in the US.

@Northwest Chinese EVs are set to be sold in the US this year. The EVs I mention are made by Volvo which is a company owned by China and the EVs are primarily made in China.

This is why the US, or I should say Biden administration, has imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs.

@Northwest Since you get your news from CNN and Fox News, I definitely understand why you don't know these things.

@Jokersswild Once more comrade, not so.

Volvo does have a plant in China where cars destined for Asian markets are assembled.

Its main plant in Sweden is where Europe and America destined cars are made. By end of 2024, Volvo’s third plant, will go operational in South Carolina.

Whole Volvo was acquired by a Chinese trading company, a few years back, headquarters, design and management is still run from Sweden, including all three plants, China, Sweden and soon, Sourh Carolina.

Read something other than the script they give you.
@Jokersswild you think Elon for giving china the expertise on battery and ev technology
