China has spent $57 billion over 7 years on EV subsidies. The US subsidies are buyer incentives which, until recently, were available for foreign vehicles as well. A Tesla sold in China does not get subsidized. Chinese subsidies have included large direct subsidies on the manufacturing.
I personally see direct subsidies to corporations as a last resort since corporations seem to use them for nothing but stock buy-backs.
Certainly, but that doesn’t mean the US can be dependent on China for it’s transition. As stated further up, I am very much in favor of government intervention to force auto makers to sell a lot more electrics. The current regulations are terrible.

Sounds like China wanted it more.
China has surpassed the West in EV adoption and electrification overall, and we are here eating Play-Doh in our Cybertrucks.
