Like always, it’s a great idea, right up until China jacks up the prices after they’ve driven out all the competition and common people can’t buy them anymore.
I think you may have glossed over the bit about jacking up prices. By then other countries be decades behind in development, not to mention competing with slave wages. There’s no way. If there was, they wouldn’t be doing it. CCP isn’t doing this for the environment, they expect payback.
What goalpost did I move? You said they’d be built with slave labor which means they’ll still be cheaper, right? And in the meantime we decarbonize huge segments of the global economy.
Don’t be mad just cause western countries wanted to take advantage of slave labor as usual and are getting bitten in the ass because of their greed, or that West Taiwan is doing it better.
Which sounds like a good idea for everybody. Maybe other countries should do the same thing.
I’m no fan of West Taiwan but they’re doing a lot more to decarbonize than most other major economies.

Then maybe western companies can finally compete with them despite being ruled by obligate capitalists.

So the Chinese tech will still be cheaper.
Gee, maybe sending almost all our manufacturing to another country was a stupid fucking idea
Man I’ve never seen anyone shift quite so many goalposts in such a short time.

This one:
I never wrote that.
But if a side effect of utterly dominating the west in decarbonizing has the side effect of saving the climate I’m not gonna complain.
