The People's Republic of China can sell bikes & other things cheap because they have a military dictatorship-management that pays very little, bans unions, tortures & executes political opponents (See Amnesty International for latest details), censors the media, & doesn't give a crap about the environment. So maybe we should think twice before advocating subsidising them. Just because even the Republicans advocate sending your money to the PRC doesn't mean it's right (the Repubs are cashing in too, otherwise the PRC would be an "Evil Empire").
