Biden needs to decide if he likes the climate more than he hates China.
What a slanted article! "Biden hates China," is a hugely sensationalist, massively oversimplified take on both trade between the US and China, and on the adversarial relationship between the two countries.
Yeah, there’s WAY more going on here in a (strategic geopolitical sense) than most people realize/are willing to admit.
I think Americans subconsciously know their auto industry cannot compete. So the options are either destroy domestic auto industry & lose elections or protectionism. No surprise they choose the later option.
I find it extremely ironic that the US originally thinks it can change China with trade. When in fact the opposite happened and now the US economic system looks more like China due to industrial policies.
The free market system is off the menu.
Is it still "free trade" when the government pours billions into subsides over the last decade?
China never claimed to be free market. Only the US previously used to believe that their own free market system is more efficient than state capitalism until it was proven otherwise.
Now the US is trying to compete with China by copying China's state capitalism.
because the corporate overlords holding Biden's leash say so
Nooooooo UAW the good guys even though they want nothing more than to keep selling anti-consumer, nonrepairable, unibody plastic cars for $30k and keeping the American consumer base hostage through gross nationalist "No Chinese Allowed" economy rigging.
