Even in Europe Chinese cars are more popular because they're affordable.

Also, electric cars such as Polestar (Volvo's EV brand, also Chinese these days) look much better than Tesla's.

Obviously, since they have the benefit of EU incentives that benefit all, and Chinese subsidies that only benefit manufacturing in China.

So I don't know what you mean by "Even in Europe"?

That doesn't mean EU should subsidize illegally and against general EU policy. Instead they are investigating if China production needs to have an import tax. Which is the correct way to handle this.
