    Wait…

    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?

    I don’t see logical consistency here…

        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.

            They’re not tho…

            It’s just their corporations are ok making less money than an American corporation.

            So the American government is eliminating the competition for the American corporations.

            Which fucks over everyone that doesn’t own stock in those corporations in favir of those who do.

      Making it crumble is the point. The sanctions and whatnot are working. Mission accomplished. God this is so stupid.
