    You’re saying “a lot of evidence” like it’s some esoteric choice. It’s in their most recent 5 year plan:

    New Energy Technologies: Xi Jinping has announced that new energy technologies such as car batteries from state-owned enterprises will make it so that half of the vehicles in China be electric or fuel-cell powered, and half hybrid by 2035.

    That’s their goal, and they have a poorer population on average than western states, so it’d seem like “dumping” when it’s just them not marking up their cars for the west.
