    Many Western governments are subsidizing buying EVs as well, how is that different? As per cheap labor, so far nobody cared about that… Interesting that’s only a problem with EVs.

      The amounts are different.

      What ever gave you that idea?

      We’ve outsourced like 75% of our production to China and Taiwan to exploit cheap/slave labor for every sort of product, except cars. Now they’re coming for those too. And they would take them too, if it weren’t for the tariffs.

        The principle is similar. But are they really that different, though? The Western amounts are not small by any mean.

        Yes, globalization, and so far it was all great because of prices (ignore the latest US tariffs because of economical war with China). But, for example, when one buys an iPhone, there aren’t much complaints not tariffs, are there?
