That is capitalism seed funded as many startup as possible with hope that just a few rose to become unicorn. Expected 99% of the startup to fail in the fierce competition along the way.The problem is the CCP and Xi has no experience and education running capitalist business. Anything they think is shiny they throw money at it. EV and AI are two examples of the lack of education and experience the CCP have in those fields. It's why over 30 millions Chinese died when the CCP great leap forward which was more like a great leap backwards.
The car industry is sickle. It means no countries can support 500 car manufacturers. It means good year is when there a high numbers of cars that their owner need to replace. In bad years there are a lot of car running well.
Xi picked the wrong industry. Instead of giving tax incentive to Chinese car buyers, he gave the money to car manufacturer. The more car the manual produce the more money they get from the Chinese government. That basically destroyed China car industry. It also shows the lack of education and corruption.
Tesla rapid grow was due to tax incentives for buyers and not for EV manufacturers. Consumer get iirc $5,000 or $10,000 tax credit for purchasing an EV. This prevented car manufacturers overproducing. The subsidy went to the consumer and not the car manufacturers.
