> China has a surplus of solar power, electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries that it can ship out to other countries at cheaper prices.
What is the difference between this 'dumping surplus' and normal 'manufacturing exports'?
"Dumping" is an econ 101 term that means selling below cost in a foreign market to stop that market from developing its own suppliers - it's an anti-competitive practice.
It's absolutely astounding watching people's contortions trying to make massive investment in green energy somehow a bad thing; it's gotten so absurd that the United States is now crying about markets being too free. You guys should try taking something more advanced than econ 101
