Yup, and I love their ultimate fallback cope when all else fails. "They're only outcompeting us because they use evil commie subsidies! We would totally win in a Free Market^TM^ fight!" As if the West hadn't been heavily subsidizing its industry and agriculture for at least the last century.

ETA: not to mention the constant accumulation by dispossession since capitalism's founding. Nope, nothing to see there...

Exactly, the whole argument for capitalism is that it's supposed to be more efficient than state driven planning. Yet, here we see how central planning is clearly outperforming market driven allocation. All of a sudden it's cheating!
