It’s almost old school Biblical, “As you sow so shall you reap.” Over the last 20 or so years China has been vigoriously developing materials supply chains World wide, refineries, foundries and manufacturing while cultivating distributorships World wide. It’s real easy to get Chinese Solar PV cells, panels, BESS units, remaining BOM through a well established World wide distribution network. Tariff constricted has not been overly effective so far and the “real solution” is having raw materials, refining capacity, foundries and distributorships within the U.S. borders to help create a National Security ‘shield’ of critical materials used to manufacture goods in the U.S.. AD/CVD is a bandaid on a boil and will not make the “patient” all better for calling out China for its practices of dumping goods, while the U.S. and other countries are foisting tariffs and filling their Treasuries on the backs of the consumers. Just sayin’, there’s plenty of “blame” and “hypocrisy” to go around and it all comes down to “Lead, follow or get out of the way.”
