There is already a 25% special tariff on all Chinese goods >$800.
I have zero expectation we’re gonna get cheap solar, batteries, or EVs from China. We wouldn’t be here in the first place if the politicians didn’t prioritize profit for their benefactors over a habitable planet.
Accusing China of “overproduction” is just calling for production to decrease so price goes up, at the expense of you know, actually decreasing CO2 emissions.
I always suspected that China’s early investment (and guaranteed dominance) of renewables would result in the western “free worlds” ruling corporatocracy artificially inflating energy prices to continue their fossil fuelled death cult.
