    The US and its O&G and car industries absolutely let China become the main manufacturer of batteries and EVs.

    Like Exxon, the US knew electrification was the future because of climate change, but tried to dismiss it. China seized the opportunity like a true capitalist, while the US government interefered with the free market to hinder electrification. This has been going on for over 20 years now.
