Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

That's against the interests of the u.s capitalists.

Don't we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

Yes but they get shoved into dogshit u.s cars who's prices are raised many times more than the cost it was to make the damn things to scalp the average American of more of their dwindling wealth

If you were pointing at literally any of the western nations I would agree, especially with regards to their naked hypocrisy in the fact that they've been further expanding their emmitive energy sources these past few years. But pointing out that China, while having large emissions due to both its large population and due to international Capital moving massive amounts of manufacturing to China over the past few decades, has not only been making its internationally promised goals towards decoupling from emmitive energy sources and switching to a green energy network but has been rapidly surpassing them to the point its leaving the entirety of the G7 nations in the dust.

The fact is that currently it is very difficult for China to lower its emissions as doing so effects not only its own country's economic productivity but the productivity of nations around the world. We saw an economic slump during covid due to China's anti-covid measures disrupting the production of commodities across all industries. Performing premature theatrical gestures would objectively harm more people than it would help, therefor holding such a criteria is ultimately idealistic and ethereally utopian in its logical process

I would hardly call creating measured plans then executing the key steps towards making a stable jump to green energy propaganda, unless you're of the mind that risking severe damage an entire country's energy grid and in turn threatening possibly the lives of millions in premature actions is much more preferable. But I'm sure you're smarter than advocating for that

which many of the major players involved including the USA and China still don't seem to care much about even now.

thinking-about-it that so?

I'd rather do neither but at least I know all the safety guidelines for how to not get a bear to tear my ass apart
