    That never actually says they’re selling at a loss, just that they’re not using the same market based pricing structure as American businesses.

    Looking at some other sources, it looks like they overproduced materials to keep prices low, since their primary potential competition refuses to use state money to fund production of critical resources.

    It’s manipulative, but it’s not selling at a loss.
    It’s difficult to feel sympathetic towards us when we refused to invest in the industry and shutdown the people responsible for helping develop the industry.
    If it was that critical we should have just spent to money to develop the industries domestically, which would have made lower prices moot.

    Being upset that a country that calls itself Communist doesn’t follow free market ideology seems foolish.
