      Unsustainable Chinese state subsidy is not capitalism.

        Every country does some level of industry subsidy. So it’s kind of baked into capitalism now. And, technically, has been since the beginning.

          Of course they are, subsidies are one of capital’s favourite methods to siphon money out of the populace. Or were you under the impression that greedy people like playing fair on fair markets?

          Yes, and the EU largely responds in the sectors of US subsidy. Food imports are restricted. Airbus and Boeing are constant sources of trade spats, etc.

          Chinese subsidy makes American subsidy look like childs play. Their response to China should match that discrepancy.
