U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, set to visit China this week, plans to warn Beijing of the harm done by subsidies for clean energy products including solar panels that she says are flooding global markets and pose a threat to U.S. firms, workers and the global economy.

They r just salty 'cause they can't get a piece of the cake as always. If they really were preocupied for the transition to solar they would be happy as people is using them even as fences, contributing to help our already strugling electric systems.

And before someone comes saying "iTs b3cAusE sUbSidiEs bAd", ok, let's avoid the tangent and keep it to the current topic; if they r so bad why they keep giving them to Tesla? Especially when said company not only hasn't generated any profit, tell me, why its ok for teslo to have subsidies but no for chinese EV manufactures? And why go as far to directly ban them?

And don't come to tell me that bs about security, it that was the concern they wouldn't even let apple produce their phones over there.

Don't let the suits fool u.
