Electric cars are simply easier to manufacture than ICE engines. The bottleneck used to be batteries, but thanks to Xi subsidizing battery R&D, that's disappearing. The complexity of ICE engines gave Japan, US, and Germany a Buffettian moat.

If the ICE companies want to survive (without protectionism), they should pressure to form international component/module standards so that it's easy to get modules from abroad and then customize vehicles for the local market(s). They'll have to survive by upselling via customization, as they can't compete on raw manufacturing alone. Factory labor rates are cheaper in China, Vietnam, etc. and dictatorships like it that way.
