    It’s not. They aren’t doing it for charity.
    It’s just like when Amazon sold diapers at a loss. Once all the competition is gone, and China has the global monopoly they want, they’ll use it to inflate prices even higher, or for leverage on other markets.

      I love that that story of Amazon selling diapers is the most salient example of what economists literally call “dumping”.
