I'd like to see this documented history. You mentioned electronics, but have they raised prices?

  The trend in electronics prices is to decline over time, so you get the same result by not reducing prices as much as the ongoing reductions in cost. Check how much a piece of consumer electronics costs in China vs. the US. They could charge the same amount.

    Are you saying that western electronics companies could theoretically produce at a price lower than what Chinese companies charge today, if only those western companies didn't get killed off? Proof?

    > They could charge the same amount. Go tell apple this, they would be very happy to be able to be able to charge even more for what they produce from China, they would be quite pissed to know that someone along the production chain is making too much money where it could be them instead The only difference between let's say Xiaomi or US located electronics is that the US ones are very, very happy to pricegauge the hell out of their customers, that's why so many are happy to buy in alibaba rather than let's say Amazon or eBay

  They’ve done it in the security industry. Look at Hikvision for an example, who have recieved billions of USD in direct loans, and even more billions of USD in credit from the Chinese government.

    Loans... credit... meaning that they have to pay it back some day. How is this different from any other company in any other country lending money to grow? The original claim was an unlimited pumping of state money, which never has to be paid back, with the purpose of killing the competition. And now that HKVision has 'won', have they raised prices and are they extorting the market, as the original claim said?
