    @yogthos @gomp It’s the capitalist textbook example, to conquer a market by undercutting prices and to crush competition in that market that cannot compete - and to later increase prices when there is no more competition. You can see this all over the world, not only with China and EVs, but also for example with Uber and the taxi business or Europe with their food exports to poorer countries outside the EU.

      China is already dominating lots of markets, and what you’re describing isn’t happening. For example, pretty much all solar panels are produced in China, and they’re still dirt cheap today.
