    Buy EU should be the Europe wide mantra from all political groups. The hollowing out of Europe in pursuit of a cheaper EV or a new phone will be a long-term disaster. Brexit leaves the UK seriously isolated.

      I would also like to see a strong car industry in the uk and Europe. But your comment is not correct. It is not fair on Europeans to deprive them of the benefits of having cheaper EVs on the market. Also exposure to cheap EVs from China will mean European firms have to innovate to compete.

    The problem with “free” market economic thinking is the historical reality of nation state competition. China having a robust manufacturing base is critical to its hard power and ability to wage war. Sending all of your productive capacity abroad may lead to higher private profits but it undercuts the state.

    1. Be careful with this trope about cheap Chinese goods and dumping. It's a good excuse for policy makers and uncompetitive companies in Europe. But the issue is primarily that Europe is behind on innovation. EVs are the perfect example, the reason they're terrified of Chinese EVs is that they're fundamentally just way better than anything Europe produces. Anyone who has had a go in a few can attest to that. If it was just an issue of cheapness, tariffs might work, but they will fail because their EVs are simply better so all that will happen is that the protectionism will shield European companies from innovative competition which will see them fall further behind in innovation. China hasnt really been a cheap manufacturing based for a while now - the cheap labour inputs have moved to south east Asia and India, much of what China does now is value add and specialized.
    2. The EU Green Deal is not really a subsidy. It's more of a financing play boot loaded with fiscal stimulus. The idea is to mandate companies to transition, then provide public investment to do so for about a quarter of the funding and leverage it to crowd in the rest from the private sector i.e. banking debt finance.

    I think your research is quite incomplete.
    First. The EU is preparing for possible tariffs on imported electric cars from China. Because their low prices are brought about by massive government support, which no longer has anything to do with fair trade. In addition, Chinese people are almost forced to only buy Chinese products (e.g. electric cars). Secondly, you overlook massive investments in Europe. Examples from my country: Here are just the most recent foreign investments in Germany:
    Everyone knows that after Brexit, Tesla built its European factory in the state of Brandenburg/Germany and is already producing there for the European market.
    - The US company Intel wants to produce computer chips with a size of 1.5 nanometers in the planned factory in Magdeburg in the state of Saxony-Anhalt/Germany. Current chips are usually significantly larger. 3,000 high-tech jobs will be created and tens of thousands of additional jobs by suppliers and partners. The city of Magdeburg is building a new district to create living space. Investments in Magdeburg for the factory alone are said to amount to more than 30 billion euros. In the construction phase alone, around 7,000 workers are needed for the Intel factory alone. The same applies to the
    - Chip company TSMC from Taiwan, witch is building a semiconductor factory with 2,000 new jobs in Dresden in the state of Saxony/Germany.
    - The Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt has decided to build a factory near Heide in the state of Schleswig-Holstein/Germany. 3,000 jobs will be created here, as well as thousands more at suppliers and service providers.
    - Microsoft is building 2 large data centers for AI in North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany, plus an AI qualification offensive with local partners from business, municipalities, schools and educational institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia and throughout Germany.
    - The US pharmaceutical giant Lilly is investing billions in a new factory in Rhineland-Palatinate/Germany. a.s.o. These are investments in future technologies, not old energy-intensive products.

      You need stability to build a good, healthy family household. A strong foundation.
      I can't speak for the whole of Europe. But here in the UK, Work is generally insecure and poorly paid, especially relative to the cost of living. Minimum wage is becoming the normal wage, zero hours contracts, and fake 'self-employment' jobs dominate the job market A 2.1 degree is no longer a ticket to a well-paid job, just a big pile of debt right at the start of life.
      Housing has become ridiculously expensive, whether by rent or mortgage, with the average house costing x12 the 'average' wage, but saving is impossible when rent and cost of living is so high.
      This also means young adults stay living with their parents longer before moving out. Which slows their independence, personal development, maturity and delays true adulthood.
      Social mobility and development opportunities are an all-time low. The social class you're born into is likely the class you're stuck with. It's turning into a caste system.
      Households now need both parents working rather than a single Income being sufficient like before, but childcare is so expensive that it eats almost the whole 2nd parent's income.
      Attitudes to parents in need of financial support are also increasing hostile and uncaring. Regarded often as nothing more than irresponsible parasites.
      The life prospects of new children seem bleaker than ever, which makes people think twice before bringing new children into the world, especially when they can't even provide security for themselves. We don't want our children to struggle in poverty.
      Young people struggle to even afford to go out to socialise now, a pint of beer costs about £6-7 alone. Not to mention social media and dating apps are poisoning normal human interaction and making everyone wary and distant from each other. So many, especially young men, spend every single evening at home alone instead of mixing with each other.
      TLDR: Jobs pay too little, are too insecure, and everything's too expensive to provide security and comfort for ourselves, let alone children, and we struggle to socialise more than ever.

    The Only reason the U.S. has been growing faster is because of Massive Amounts of DEBT added into the economy. Since 1990, U.S. Debt has gone from $3 Trillion to $37 Trillion by the end of this year. $34 TRILLION More! Try to find one European country that can even begin to scratch the surface of that. You say the U.S. can Borrow more due to the Dollar. Do you know that the U.S. is Paying Far More than Any Western European country to finance this 37 Trillion? You didn't say that. So what does GDP mean at all if it's all just Debt? That's why others Don't do this. Also, hardly anyone in America even believes the growth 'reported'. You know why? Because the GDP numbers, in America, are all 'juiced up' with stuff that has nothing to do with Actual production. That's Why people don't really believe it, because it isn't Real.

    .Look at exhorbitant profits like for example Volkswagen is making while complaining about competition while selling overpriced EVs. They are not the only big company in Europe doing something similar. The issue here is that while Brussells protect fat cats and fat profits, Europeans are getting poorer and poorer. I am all for protecting jobs and industries, but current Brussel protectionism will be disaster for European competiveness and standard of living in short or median time frame. You can be protecting local industry and at the same time encourage inovation and competiveness , just look at chinese 30 years back. Do I expect European leaders to be able to do it? No, they are more invested in screwing Russian , Chinese, making arms for never ending wars than improve lives of their population. So , result is, Europe is decaying , economically , politically and some people may say morally too. I do not expect any improvement any time soon.
