So why do we keep banning their electric cars and completed solar panels?
If their economy is crumbling, why do t we let Americans buy their cheap green products as climate change is a pressing issue that we cant afford to wait to address?
Because dumping cheap equipment hurts everyone in the long run. It damages the research pipelines, it damages production capacity, and it risks public safety.
It's essentially a method to create a monopoly that you can then exploit later.
I think the issue is I said "cheap" meaning "inexpensive".
And you've taken it to mean "low quality".
BYD is surprisingly high quality, as is their solar panels.
For the panels specifically, we can completed units for consumers, but allow the pieces imported with a tarrif and then put together and sold at a drastically higher price.
I meant cheap as in subsidized, these panels are being sold below what the normal market conditions would warrant due to interference from the Chinese government.
This is what's being used to push the harms I mentioned.
