      It’s not capitalism because it’s not the market magically fixing itself but China injecting a ton of money to prop up a sector the big companies have purposefully ignored, to avoid spending money on R&D. Plus all the incentives given here and there to push people towards EV.

      And the concept of offer and demand is not exclusive to capitalism, no.
