China "wins" until innovation comes, i put win in quotes, because all they are doing is accepting a really low return on capital... personally i don't want to "win" that way... but if you were the chinese government... which would you prefer? a low return on capital? or rioting in the streets from job losses? haha… that’s a good question “how long can the chinese continue to subsidize unprofitable ventures?”… they will do it until they either run out of money or a major policy change on solar… i don’t think either will happen any time soon… China “wins” until innovation comes, i put win in quotes, because all they are doing is accepting a really low return on capital… personally i don’t want to “win” that way… but if you were the chinese government… which would you prefer? a low return on capital? or rioting in the streets from job losses?
