It’s a shockingly capitalist move tbh.

China in its current form is fairly capitalist - they are socialist in name only. This isn't shocking if you remember that.

China flooding the market with solar panels, driving costs down is a good thing.

Oh get off your high horse.

We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it's undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it's textbook hypocrisy.

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.
