American producers face electricity costs more than double those faced by Chinese smelters. American producers are not being made more competitive, they are being protected from more competitive producers and all downstream users of their output face higher costs as a result. The US industrial base has been decimated by decades of neoliberal voodoo economics. The Chinese industrial base has been built up over those same decades in a deliberate and strategic process to result in China dominating global manufacturing and commodity markets.
