The idea behind trade war, among many other things, is this. We are giving out our competitive edge. Getting fair trade is important, as much as the short term pain is real, long term benefits are there. US companies have been at a disadvantage in China due to government incentives for Chinese companies. This cannot go on.

It can go beyond just simple incentives as well. Uber was effectively driven out of China by the government 'picking' Didi. They wanted to reduce the size of their military but didn't want unemployed soldiers and transitioned literally millions of them into Didi drivers. You can't compete with that.

I also read somewhere where uber drivers were "given tickets" while local law enforcement turned a blind eye to didis. Definitely hard to compete.

It's funny, Chinese ride sharing companies enjoy this exact same advantage in Vancouver Canada. We remain a staunch ally.

What reading would you recommend about Chinese ride sharing companies in Canada?

And is it Vancouver or Canada that is the ally?
