Ah yes, a tale as old as time: the West demonstrates leadership by actually innovating, then the CCP responds by flooding the market with subsidized cheap, crappy copies until they are the only ones left. While nobody in their right minds should tolerate this absurd demand, the sad reality is that the spineless EU will likely roll over soon and become lapdogs to the imperial Chinese.
