[@vivliforia2262]

I'm not American. But I really understand why USA is not fan of free market right now, especially towards China. It's because China chooses to be protectionistic. China runs a closed market system to protect the CCP's interests. Free market is an open market. So, there's a collision here. So far, USA has long obeyed China's rules and that has made USA suffer more debt. China has 1.4 billion people to feed, while USA has only 340 million people. That's why communist China uses dirty tactics: firewall, espionage, IP theft, hacking, forced labor, sabotage, cheating, lying, using back doors and many more. China is actually more dependent on USA economically, not the other way around.

Why do you think there isn't enough competition in the US? China has banned foreign EV battery comeptitors since 2015 to protect their local industry and ultimately dominate the global battery supply-chain.

​@@tooltalkpretty much everything is owned by a few major corporations that encompass many brands. We have the illusion of choice but in reality there is none. Competition is good for you and me but that means many failed businesses, workers unemployed and abissmal profits. There is a reason why most industries like the airlines, food have consolidated into a few companies, its impossible to make anything with so many companies around

[@crusherven]

@@tooltalk It's not really the end of the world if China chooses to expend its wealth on selling us EVs at a loss. Without subsidies, EVs are currently too expensive to compete with ICE vehicles, and I am happy for Chinese taxpayers to be paying for those subsidies rather than Americans. Of course, we are also paying for some subsidies, but not nearly as substantial as what they're doing.

[@tooltalk]

@@crusherven that's good for consumers in the short-run, but devasting in the longer-run because there would be no local competition. Again, this is why China banned foreign EV battery competitors back in 2015 to protect theirs -- and forced all foreign, local EV OEMs to switch to local batteries by local Chinese suppliers to build up their local industry.

It is in the United States' interest for Mexico to grow. If Mexico becomes a powerful country, the famous union of North America between Canada, the USA and Mexico (like the European Union) could take place, increasing the power of the subcontinent and ensuring that neither China nor any other country could surpass the USA (unless there are unions in Asia). And on the subject of immigration, Canada and the USA could collaborate with Mexico to close the border between Mexico and Guatemala (and Belize). It would cost much less than continuing to build the Mexico-USA wall and maintenance would be just as cheap.
