    It’s not capitalism because it’s not the market magically fixing itself but China injecting a ton of money to prop up a sector the big companies have purposefully ignored, to avoid spending money on R&D. Plus all the incentives given here and there to push people towards EV.

    And the concept of offer and demand is not exclusive to capitalism, no.

      Externalities and funding are both concepts in capitalism yes.

      You can even treat the countries being developing capital. China has invested heavily in renewable capital. They are going to use that capital to make profit.
