I hate China as much (probably much more than, tbh) as the average person, but the amount of whinging that the West has done about them introducing actually competitive EVs to an otherwise anti-consumer market should tell you everything you need to know about how they really feel about renewable energies and EVs in general.
Yes, except China has a clear and insurmountable advantage over EU or American automakers. The only ones losing here are the consumers. For every EU tariff, there’s a dozen countries in the southern hemisphere who are clamoring for an opportunity to buy cheap, good (enough) EVs.
