Canada

but China doesn’t appear to listen

Repeating US complete BS absurdity at China is not talking.

The government in Beijing ordered Chinese companies to overproduce -EVs and other products- as they think this is the only way to support their troubled economy.

1. Abundance is humanist economics. Scarcity based profit maximization, anti human, or at least lesser/failure to promote humanism.
2. China does not force abundance. Permits abundance through raw material support, and as OP, little red tape on factory construction.
3. Several EV, battery, steel, solar companies are very profitable. One way to raise stock price is to sell more, with cost reductions from scale, instead of stock buybacks and extortion monopoly pricing.
4. Their economy is strong. No country has ever had such a high manufacturing and goods export sector share. Despite housing slowdown, booming 5%+ economy.
5. Hateful warmongering against China has forced it on a "delete America" program. This is opportunity for Canada. Divisiveness from US is needed instead of evil against China.
6. China should not stop helping the world just because impotent losers tell it to. Extortionist warmongering is not just evil, it is expensive.
7. free competitive markets are supposed to be about abundance. We are past the point of respecting the US for "playing by the rules"

By all means, protecting Canada's auto sector should be plan A, just because so much of our economy is used to it, we sunk investment into it, and manufacturing is important industry, and disruption affects politics, which no matter how corrupt and dysfunctional, and based on all the lies you repeated, but is what it is. Preparing for plan B, should still start now. There is far more than EVs that we can gain from Chinese trade. Mostly selling more of our resources. But manufactured auto parts, is an area where our expertise could grow even higher, and completely outcompete US tarriffed competition. Crossborder shopping from US would allow us to have more retail stores/jobs, and pressure US economy more. Canadian Ag needs new customers now, and again, customers for us is US customers replaced.

Tolerating US propaganda on which countries are more evil than the US, and then fully cooperating with their demonism, makes losing this trade war a 100% certainty. We will only get political gaslighting of resistance as one of "the stages of grief" before we set our submission levels to absolute levels, in a Chuck Schumer moment.

World needs to join the delete America program immediately if it wants to survive. GM/Ford/Stelantis included, where Canada must convince them to keep full production here. Failure from them, must result in exterminating US vehicles from Canadian market. Seizing their (highly subsidized) assets.
