They’re economic research points out supply chain and soft costs which is easy to infer. Whats not being scrutinized are the subsidies that allowed Chinese companies to take market share. The disparity in cost basis increased from 2009 largely due to subsidies. They stole an industry and we really haven’t done anything about it. Suntech is insolvent by most measures but they’re still around. So bottoms up analysis is kinda worthless.
