    Blame BYD? For what? For making a superior product so superior that the US tariffs it 100% to protect domestic shitbox manufacturers from competition because they can’t compete?

      Yes, that. Those monsters.

      How could they not think of the other companies’ poor shareholders?

      BYD is heavily subsidized by China. Tariffs to offset the Chinese subsidies are reasonable.

        So what you’re telling me is communism builds better cars too. Not only does it do everything better, but also cars.

          My dude one thing communism clearly does worse is foster reading comprehension.

          China may make a good car, but they’re not actually socialist or truly communist anymore, and further the primary issue that is being discussed is subsidizing something for market saturation, a decidedly capitalist move on Chinas part.

          You gotta be a little less on the nose.
