That’s not at all the same. The example you provide was augmentation or expansion of their market/products. This is not that at all. At best it is a supplanting of the market with a clearly imposed and forced product and system.
Those are cleverly not free choices, they aren’t even just biased through subsidies; they are actively sabotaging and commanding major shifts in society and the economy, which has never gone well when it has ever been tried under any other communist, utopian, command economy, self-righteous system of a minority of conceited rulers imposing things on people unnaturally, based on pontifications emanating from ivory towers.
