During her recent visit to Beijing, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen criticized her Chinese counterparts, arguing that China’s government subsidies have led to overcapacity in crucial sectors like alternative energy and electric vehicles (EVs).

China's focus on electric vehicles (EVs) over internal combustion engine cars - the "Great Leapfrogging Forward” - has significantly reshaped the global industrial landscape to China's benefit. Recognizing and accurately assessing China's capabilities instead of propagating unfounded narratives about its imminent decline constitutes the foundational first step in competing effectively with China.
