Chinese companies see lots of funding from their government in specific fields.

Same from any nation really, but don't think the ticket price isn't reduced from those subsidies / donations / how ever you want to paint it.

I believe the EU are planning to tax Chinese made vehicles based on how much support they are receiving from their government.
