So… Thanks for helping my point, I guess?

But you do realize that you quoted numbers for the wrong part of the economy in the wrong timeframe!?

For a historical perspective, China’s solar PV subsidies have been almost entirely demand-side with the exception of academic research grants, national labs, and poverty-alleviating policies.

Please let me know when you find any proof of that. There's a reason why there is an entire solar supply chain concentrated in Xinjiang, rather than some more developed coastal region. (It's subsidies.)

(it's cheaper labour and the fact that Xinjiang is literally the perfect place to deploy solar)
