The gaslighting is astounding. Corporate welfare is hurting the West and every decision we make China profits from. Some suggest it might be in the BILLIONS, certainly many hundreds of millions.
Why not develop our own? Simple, our best talent probably already moved to Germany to work at Volkswagon. Canadas police state isn't ripe with innovation and opportunity for the ambitious.

China isn't stupid enough to pay a German company what will be probably north of the equivalent of a million dollars a job, and maybe even WAY more if their "negotiations" with the E.U is any indication.

“Part of that is commercially sensitive information, so, as we can, we’ll reveal it,” Bethlenfalvy told the Star on Monday.
His comments came one week after the provincial Progressive Conservative and federal Liberal governments announced they had lured Volkswagen to build a massive EV battery factory in St. Thomas, near London.
