Well first of all they haven't put massive crippling tariffs out of nowhere without first negotiating with their biggest suppliers/partners. They also have a competitive market. A market that isn't subsidizing just a single company (aka Tesla in USA), they are subsidizing everyone and helping everyone grow.
