Same way South Korea subsidize their industries, as part of their greater national economic and security policy. It's “OMG BAD!" when China does it simply because they are a socialist state and an adversary, with history of a hot proxy war against the US (Korean War, a war that never really ended). US foreign & trade policy is rife with double standards.

America’s technological prowess, labor, and future affluence depend on winning a significant role. Only the US federal government can help level the playing field. This loan is a fiscally prudent way to do it.

It is not about China or SK, it is about letting an American company, using American Design Tech compete on something approaching a level playing field and win using American labor.
