Thats simplifying the problem. You know what helps with getting better with EVs? Subsidies and cheap credits. And China does that. We can now start to race which countries and tax payers give EV manufacturers the most money or we can ban companies who aren't playing fair.

So yes, get better at EVs is a valid damand. But if your competitor gets an unfair advantage, you simply can't reach his level, no matter how hard you are trying.
