Yes, the US military is not prepared for modern war.

Or force replaceable batteries with exceptions that every LLM passes anyway.

1,140 horsepower (850 kW) for 120k Euro is still one of the cheapest option in EU.

Indeed. Unfortunately you can only unleash that power on tracks

In every market China dominates, Chinese products are still inexpensive. Solar panels, batteries, EVs, drones,..

Because they are subsidized by the Chinese government. This is literally a tactic to destroy global competition.

It's a smart move to make everyone dependent on them.

1. this seems to be based on misconceptions about how the chinese economy works 2. why haven't they done it yet? is the implication that they will wait until they're dominant in some x number of industries worldwide and then... raise prices?

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

Yes, they learnt this from the US, who subsidized Uber for _14 years_, Amazon for 9 years and Youtube for many years until they had destroyed global competition and made everyone dependent on them. This is now happening again with Anthropic and OpenAI, of course.

China's subsidies are comparatively much shorter.

> YouTube has never seriously had competition

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.

Sooo if youg ive a country cheap solar panels and they save money and make themselfs independent, how is that making them more dependent on China?

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.

How is this not any different than US corporations only existing do to hundreds of billions worth of corporate welfare? Good grief, why are American corporations such sore players against actual competition? US elites are absolutely pathetic.

Any evidence to back that up?

Back what exactly? That China subsided it's domestic companies?

Fact 1: that's terror Fact 2: that's terror

Some EU countries, at least Croatia, Hungary, Spain and Greece lowered gas prices to pre Iran war levels. I wish instead EU would lower tariffs on EVs. Xiaomi SU7 would get 45% total duty.

Is it good or bad or it doesn't matter for climate?

Chinese companies are blocked from buying modern ASML lithography machines. The most modern scanner China is still allowed to buy is NXT:1980i from 2015.

I can't think of any European government that is far left? I am not familiar with all of them of course, so happy to be proven wrong.

I see, thanks for confirming that you're just an ignorant troll. Your post history confirmed that once more. It does make me curious. Where do you drink your Kool-Aid that gives you these "opinions"?

I buy Xiaomi products. I know I get high quality products. From Xiaomi Kettle to Xiaomi SU7
