Too much criticism of #Biden's #EV #tariffs ignoring basic facts about #China & #BYD
A reminder about why #Chinese #electric vehicles are so cheap - more than mere "innovation"
- non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce (unlike unionized Detroit)
- minimal lacking sourcing standards for raw materials = widespread supply chain #humanrights & #environmental abuses
- massive subsidies & domestic market protectionism
The report said that conclusion was based in part on the difficulty of collecting reliable information from the #war zone & the way #Hamas operates in densely populated areas. It also stressed that #Israel has begun the process of seeking accountability for possible violations of the #law, a key component in the #UnitedStates assessment about whether to provide #military aid to allies accused of #HumanRights violations.

The report also noted that “#Israel has not shared complete information to verify” whether #US #weapons have been used in specific incidents alleged to have involved #HumanRights #law violations.
Nevertheless, the report, mandated by President #Biden, deems that assurances Israel provided in March that it would use #US arms consistent w/ #InternationalLaw are “credible & reliable” & thus allow the continued flow of #UnitedStates #military aid.
In the admin’s most detailed assessment of #Israel’s conduct in #Gaza, #State said in a written report to #Congress that Israel “has the knowledge, experience & tools to implement best practices for mitigating #civilian harm in its #military operations.”
But it added that “the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions” as to whether the #IDF are using them sufficiently.

The #Biden admin has concluded it is “reasonable to assess” that #Israel’s military campaign in #Gaza has violated #InternationalLaw, but has not found specific instances that would justify the withholding of #military aid, #State Dept told #Congress Fri.
