I'm wondering what the grift here is.

Usually, the pattern is that we see a tsunami of planted "China number one" stories boosted by hordes of Chinese "internet commentators", and then the world trembles for a few days until the scam mechanics are revealed.

My would be either: crippling limitations on the model, vast, unfair, and/or illegal subsidies by the CCP regime as a mercantilist attack on Western capabilities (as we've already seen in iron smelting and clean energy), sanctions-busting, gamed benchmarks, outright theft -- or a combination of the above.
