Video: China's enormous subsidies come from trading profits. US and European subsidies come from taxpayers. Think tanks in US writings reports to politicians to get taxpayers money for companies with kickbacks to politicians via campaign contributions and high paying jobs after leaving offices 中國的巨額補貼來自貿易利潤。美國和歐洲的補貼來自納稅人. 美國智庫向政客寫報告，為公司獲取納稅人的錢，透過競選捐款和離職後高薪工作向政客回扣.

CATL and SMIC are two giant Chinese companies that are often singled out by Western think tanks as two firms who benefit from China's subsidies, at the expense of foreign competition.

But all industrialized countries employ government subsidies, which help favored domestic industries grow. China, however, uniquely can invest in preferred sectors by channeling its massive trading surpluses, and providing low-cost access to its world-leading supply chains and logistics systems.

In contrast, North American and European companies who seek government incentives and subsidies are competing with other spending priorities, as all the funds come from taxpayers. This reality requires of companies seeking government help to do so through proxies, lobbying efforts, and through think-tanks who create research that can be published and used by lawmakers to justify the use of taxpayer funds.

寧德時代和中芯國際是兩家中國巨頭公司，經常被西方智庫列為兩家從中國補貼中受益、以犧牲外國競爭為代價的公司。

但所有工業化國家都採用政府補貼，有助於受青睞的國內產業的成長。 然而，中國可以透過利用其巨額貿易順差並提供低成本進入其世界領先的供應鏈和物流系統來投資首選產業。

相較之下，尋求政府激勵和補貼的北美和歐洲公司正在與其他支出優先事項競爭，因為所有資金都來自納稅人。 這一現實要求尋求政府幫助的公司透過代理、遊說工作和智囊團來實現這一目標，智囊團創建可以發表的研究成果，並可供立法者使用，以證明納稅人資金的使用合理性.
