Does this apply to the US response to Chinas lead in battery and solar production? The Inflation Reduction Act is essentially a protectionist policy for manufacturing in response to Asian and Chinese tech manufacture. I feel like we are trying to fight our way out of one of these situations. I'm concerned because every time I see something happening that excites me (the massive policy shift from enacting the IRA and the surge in American manufacturing) it usually means something really bad is about to happen.
