Musk’s opposition to ‘decoupling’ {from Communist China} shows that economic reality prevails
Global Times ^ | 30th May 2023 | Wang Yi

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Tuesday met with US electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla CEO Elon Musk in Beijing....

This is Musk's first visit to China in three years. While it is not immediately clear the specific schedule of the billionaire's China visit, media reports suggested that Musk will visit Tesla's Shanghai factory and seek to deal with issues including intensified competition with Chinese EV manufacturers. Musk has changed his dismissive attitude toward Chinese EV giant BYD, calling it "highly competitive" now, according to media reports.

Another important background of Musk's visit to China is that Tesla has started shipping vehicles to North America market from its Shanghai factory recently. Tesla is listing China-made Model 3 and Model Y models for sale in Canada, the company's website showed on May 23, according to Reuters. The news has once again cast doubt on the effectiveness of US' efforts to re-shore manufacturing and push "decoupling" from China. Musk's clear opposition to "decoupling" shows foreign companies like Tesla have no interest in being made part of the US' harmful geopolitical games.

Electric vehicles made in China for Canadian and US customers?

What could go wrong?

Re: Chinese EV giant BYD - "highly competitive"

Translated from the Chinese that means, "We just stole all your technology, Elon."

Musk is a Chinese stooge. His recent Republican act is designed to manipulate Republicans into liking China. He’s totally compromised, far worse than anything Biden or his spawn have done. His Twitter purchase is killing Truth Social’s chances as well.

This is a Chicom publication.

Everything in it is propaganda.

Bingo! Controlled opposition. Everyone is loving Musk for exposing the government but so what. Nothing was done about it and nothing will. We’ve seen this in Keven McCarthy, another WEF guy, who lied and played the role for the elites. This country is toast. People ought to be praying like their lives depended upon it because it does!

Yep! Only revival can change the political situation. People don’t believe in God anymore and you can’t change that with government.

And to that point, Musk is also an atheist. So that makes putting faith in him even more ridiculous.
