As expected, the article doesn't even mention China's own extremely restrictive tariffs, including those on foreign-made cars.

Why would it? Reason has never targeted a Chinese audience.

Because context matters. In the same vein, the hidden and thereby illegal state subsidies Chinese electric car makers are receiving should also be mentioned. Biden's tariffs aren't happening in a vacuum.

"Illegal state subsidies?" From whom?

I'll let you figure out where Chinese car makers are getting their subsidies from.

I think their point is legality is relative ... surely what China is doing is legal in China. "Unreasonable" would be a better term than illegal.

DdCno1 ,

It's not relative. The moment a Chinese good is being sold outside of China, it has to follow local laws, which includes laws against market manipulation. Chinese manufacturers and sellers have been ignoring them for a long time, but there is finally some pushback.
