I'm just not sure what your argument is. Since the US practices unfair trade in one industry, China should be allowed to in other industries? I don't know if you missed this lesson in second grade, but, "Two wrongs don't make a right."

It's not a matter of "allow", it's a matter of what governments choose to subsidize. There's no point in getting pissy at China for subsidizing an industry to the detriment of other countries when the US actively does it in other industries. The US could do the same with batteries and EVs, but there's no political will.
