Bloated by excessive investment, distorted by government intervention, and plagued by heavy losses, China’s EV industry appears destined for a crash. EV companies are locked in a cutthroat struggle for survival. China’s car industry could tumble into a financial crisis; it “just hasn’t erupted yet.”
China's state-led EV program, by design, has been predatory. By subsidizing these companies, China sought to edge out more established automakers in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere. Beijing's economic planners are willing to sacrifice something as frivolous as profitability to fulfill their dreams of building an internationally competitive car industry. China "sustains a lot of inefficiency at home in order to dominate industries and markets globally," Dunne told me. Yet even the Chinese state may not be able to prop up its automakers indefinitely. The research firm Rhodium Group figures that Chinese policy makers spend the equivalent of 3 percent of the central government's fiscal revenues to subsidize car sales. Gregor Sebastian, a senior analyst at Rhodium, told me that this level is probably unsustainable, particularly if the Chinese government also hopes to develop semiconductors and AI. He recommends that Chinese policy makers "slowly take the foot off the gas pedal, but in a way that the sector doesn’t collapse.” China's EV industry's gains in the international market are also under threat. President Joe Biden's administration imposed a 100 percent tariff on Chinese EVs last year, which President Donald Trump has maintained, effectively shutting these vehicles out of the U.S. market. The European Union, Canada, Turkey and Mexico have also hiked duties on Chinese cars. Restricted access to key international markets could make it even harder for Chinese EV companies to survive without aid from their government. The international automobile industry is shaping up to be a test of wills between the Chinese leaders determined to dominate it and the global policy makers who hope to stop them.

“It isn’t really a coincidence that these places, and the places where America’s climate retreat will begin, roughly overlap with the geography of historic conflicts over civil rights and democracy. Where risk and disinvestment come together in America, democracy has always suffered.”
#ClimateSky
Even if climate change does not trigger a full-fledged economic panic, whole regions will be thinned out and impoverished. Residential areas are the centerpiece of local economies, yet without insurance, people cannot get mortgages, and so most cannot buy houses. The mere prospect of that makes business investment riskier. Jesse Keenan, a professor at Tulane University who studies climate change and real estate, told me that some places are already becoming economic "no-go" zones. Keenan is not some lonely Cassandra. In February, in a report to the Senate Banking Committee, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned of exactly the same thing. "You know, if you fast-forward 10 or 15 years, there are going to be regions of the country where you can't get a mortgage," he said. "There won't be ATMs. You know, the banks won't have branches and things like that." Leave it to the banker to think about the banks, but the same logic applies to everything else. In places that suffer an increasing number of climate disasters and don't receive commensurate assistance, we should expect more food deserts, fewer libraries, and fewer small businesses. We should expect that, with a larger share of municipal budgets going to disaster mitigation and repair, city and county services will suffer or disappear. Even as local taxes rise, "service deserts" will spread, leaving the remaining populations with only shells of local government. These are the dead zones. Atlantic December 2025 All of this could create even better conditions than those today for the kind of transactional authoritarian government that Trump is trying to establish. Xenophobia and racism are already pillars of this movement, and they would be strengthened by mass migration. State and local leaders affected by disasters might supplicate themselves to the president in order to receive the patronage of disaster aid. A hurricane or megafire during election season might be a convenient excuse for federal intervention. The emerging Trump doctrine views empathy as a weakness and public welfare as a usurpation of the natural hierarchy. His authoritarianism is perfectly suited to an era of climate strife. T THE END of August, almost 20 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina, I drove across the Claiborne Avenue Bridge to New Orleanss Lower Ninth Ward. The neighborhood was mostly obliterated in 2005, after the levees that were supposed to protect it failed. Today it is still in rough shape. Inhabited homes are sparsely distributed, and grassy lots fill many of the spaces where houses previously stood. There are few businesses to speak of. Before Katrina, 15,000 people lived here. Now that number is closer to 5,000. A casualty of what is often considered America's first great climate disaster, the Lower Ninth Ward also has an antecedent in Butler's work. In Parable of the Sower, a hurricane devastates the Gulf region, and most of its victims are poor folks "who don't hear the warnings until it's too late for their feet to take them to safety."
