Haha yeah they're coping hard there. Like they're still under this delusion that China will not be able to compete with US offerings on the global market. I always wonder if people writing this genuinely believe it or they're just cynically spinning a narrative for the US public.
Yup, and I love their ultimate fallback cope when all else fails. "They're only outcompeting us because they use evil commie subsidies! We would totally win in a Free Market^TM^ fight!" As if the West hadn't been heavily subsidizing its industry and agriculture for at least the last century.
ETA: not to mention the constant accumulation by dispossession since capitalism's founding. Nope, nothing to see there...
Exactly, the whole argument for capitalism is that it's supposed to be more efficient than state driven planning. Yet, here we see how central planning is clearly outperforming market driven allocation. All of a sudden it's cheating!
