And then just imagine if two employers were competing in a tight market for labour. One party would be a long-standing employer paying market wages and supplying the employees with standard market tools. The other party would be a new-to-market employer subsidized by the government for no good reason to pay both market wages and provide the most technologically advanced equipment in the field that made the jobs of the employees safer, more productive, and more enjoyable.

If we heard this sort of thing coming from China, we'd have a good laugh about the communist ruling class picking winners and losers.
