Yellen, who is planning her second trip to China as Treasury secretary, said Wednesday in Georgia that she will convey her belief to her Chinese counterparts that Beijing’s increased production of green energy also poses risks “to productivity and growth in the Chinese economy.”
U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in response to the complaint that the U.S. subsidies are a “contribution to a clean energy future” while China “continues to use unfair, non-market policies and practices to undermine fair competition.”
This almost reads like an article from The Onion
Janet Yellen needs to fuck off
What, pray tell, did she do to you?
She’s a wall street puppet

Well she is directly involved and paid to make our future worse. If her and biden were never born we’d all be better off, so maybe the least she could do is resign now and retire in a place where she has absolutely no influence at all.
wont somebody think of the prices!
A member of the Biden administration taking an extremely right wing stance?! What?! I am so shocked.
It’s almost as if democrats are mid right or something!
Much wow! 😂
Ya, all those left constituents can sit and spin!
Consistently voting for the “lesser evil” is really working out!
The Invisible Hand at work
“No, not like that!”
Give me heavily subsidized US made electric vehicles or STFU.
Outside of the US, you can get a 10k or less electric mini-van, mini-truck, or mini-car which would serve 90% of most peoples’ needs. Most US trips are under 3 miles after all and giant fast luxurious vehicles for those bike-range trips is just totally silly.
Meanwhile the cheapest new car in the US is what, a Mitsubishi hatchback for $18k? It’s ridiculous. The US Automakers are in a tacit conspiracy to squeeze us as hard as they can by refusing to sell anything affordable – by inflating sizes and bloating features to justify way higher MSRPs. Meanwhile the French have access to cheap ICEs like the Skoda Citygo and even ultralight city EVs like the Citroen Ami for half that price while still being easily 90% as capable for most people.
Or for roughly the same price as that bottom-of-the-market US ICE car you can get a totally workable EV like the Dacia Spring.
The US subsidizes huge vehicles in a million pointless ways. I absolutely refuse to believe that vehicle inflation is just caused by some cultural woo. It’s mostly just that we create giant roads, giant parking spots, giant highways, and have automakers that intentionally go as big as the market can bear because bigger means more money. And sprinkle on some bullshit tax loopholes and state agencies/NHSTA being ultra-conservative and you have a disaster. Smaller cars thrive in the old world because the old world doesn’t make it as convenient as possible to have a goddamn road yacht. They’d go big too, but it would just be a nightmare dealing with those huge cars because their governments don’t prioritize making way for them in every way possible.
And that’s not even getting into the frankly fine $2-3k EVs you can get in China. This is all just Europe.
If most US trips are under 3 miles why do we have cars at all? It’s extremely wasteful to use cars for that kind of transportation.

Subsidized fossil fuels you say? Well ok, coming right up.
The unimaginable horror of cheap energy could collapse the global oil trade. Which country produces the most oil, again?
