    Biden is expected this week to quadruple tariffs on Chinese EVs and sharply increase levies for other key industries. The moves are designed to safeguard the effectiveness of investments that his legislation is making in those same sectors in the US.

    “The president wants to make sure that he protects these investments,” Yellen said. “He believes it unacceptable — as I do — to be completely dependent on China in these areas,” given that Beijing engages in massive subsidies and “is really not playing by the rules.”

    Our “effective investments” vs their “massive subsidies”

        Chinese charging networks exist because they’re important infrastructure.

        What little American charging networks exist (but often don’t work) are their through minor regulatory punishment.

      Is “not playing by the rules” here referring to Chinese government subsidies of EVs? How much is it subsidized anyway compared to say energy credits Tesla gets? Anyone have numbers to get a sense of scale of this claim?

      with some factory inspectors refusing to visit the country over fears of arrest for spying and others denied entry to facilities

      What on earth could factory inspectors be spying for? Like I don’t put it past them, but at this point I’d like to know.

        Probably more of a fear of the claim that they were spying… though how much of this fear is actual and how much of this is fabricated by the USA companies is not investigated in the text that I skimmed.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
