I didn't even know we were racing. What are the results, are we, like, not allowed to do solar power now? What does China get for winning, a free car or something?

Seriously, why does everything have to be framed as some kind of zero-sum international "race"?

It means that the economic benefits of being the world's low-cost producer go to people in China instead of the US.

They're not stealing the sunshine from us, it hits them over there. We can still make more solar panels, we haven't lost anything irretrievably.

No, bit the point is that china is making the for themselves and everyone else.
