Even if they make their own electric vehicles, they think they have the right to sell them in China while banning Chinese EVs from selling in their countries. They think they have a right to that absurdity just like the EU demanded Chinese EV technology to use in their EV industry while China got nothing in return.
There were some claims not too long ago that China is lying about its population size. They say it's really more like 600 million not 1.4 billion. Why would they care? Because they know the idea of selling to 1.4 billion people is very attractive for the world and that's been why countries today are hesitant to go against China because they want to make money selling to them. Just like the West lies about how badly China's economy is doing because they want to discourage anyone from investing into China, the same why they want to claim China is lying about its population size so that people don't find the Chinese market as attractive to them anymore.
Saudi Arabia has oil which is why someone like Hillary Clinton who anointed herself champion of women's right ignores abuses there. That's why Biden who wanted to turn Saudi Arabia into a pariah state did an instant about face and dropped any human rights concerns. Oil is a strategic resource that the world needs. Whoever controls the world oil supply is in control of the world. That's why the US bragging about being energy independent is irrelevant because they don't control all the countries that have oil to sell who they can sell or not sell to.
China's population is a strategic resource. And like oil, the US and the West want to control it so they can use the Chinese consumer to reward or punish other countries. Look at how the West is angry that China is buying Russian oil where they accuse is enough where the profits are funding their war in Ukraine. No Chinese market to sell to... no Ukraine war. The US and the West still have aspirations of seizing control of China because they certainly are not to going to negotiate with China because that would mean China gets something out of it. That tells you nothing will be done through mutual agreement. So the only thing left is they see themselves taking over China in order to reap the rewards afterwards. It's not like the Chinese people are like oil. They're going to violate human rights in order to take control because how else could they do it?
