The US government is falling all over itself to fellate the oil and gas industry to protect their profits. They have blocked EVs in every way possible.
China doesn't give a fuck about the US Church of Profits and is building renewable energy and EVs faster than the rest of the world combined.
The west has already lost. China won. China will be in charge in the very near future.
They are just as profit-driven as US corporations are. They are also leading the world in coal mining.
And I remember people singing the same song about Japan in the late 70s as they do about China now. Extrapolation works perfectly in a world with no limiting factors.
Fuck it, at this point lets give China a shot. They have issues, lots of them, but Europe isn't going to compete any time soon, and at least China doesn't switch between telling you you're friends, and stabbing you in the back every 4-8 years.
