However, China routinely focuses on certain industries and then uses state incentives to have Chinese companies mass produce products in those industries. It is all but impossible for any company, from any country, to compete with that (without similar government subsidization).
It seems to me that the solution isn't to ban Chinese exports or ignore Chinese subsidies ... it's to allow Chinese products in, with a tariff that balances the subsidization.
(Which is also hard for me to support, as I'm generally anti-tariff ... but it does seem like the right measure here.)
In Europe take a look at VW, owned by the German gov. They are in trouble only because their CEO's and others who decide where they should go and do, they have no idea what they are doing. Zero. Grab a random person on the street and make it VW CEO that it will be much better.
