This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The subsidies for chinese citizens has been cut for years and phases out entirely in 2027.

There never was a subsidy for exports.

This narrative is just a way for non-competitive companies to demand protectionist measures so they don't have to invest in better factories and can continue charging more for less value.
