As evidence of the importance of the China market, a renewed version of the Tesla’s Y here was launched here in January before the United States
Experts say Musk needs support from the Chinese government.
“It is difficult for most people who have not lived inside China to understand the strength of the organizers,” said Dan. “You are applying for a license in the United States or Europe, in the end you will get a permit or a license. In China, it’s huge negotiations.”
While Tesla faces intense competition from the Chinese EV makers, it has launched a software update
Tesla’s FSD in China has not been approved.
This is why it is very important that Musk remains in Beijing’s good grace, especially since his companies face a violent reaction in the United States, Europe and other places because of his work for the Trump administration.
“Beijing can decide to ban Tesla. Stone Fich said,” They can subjugate Tesla to all types of investigations locally. “There is almost no limit to what they could decide to do.”
This may explain why Musk was explicit in his views on politics in various countries such as Germany, Canada and Brazil, and he was relatively calm about what was going on in Beijing.
“The musk is very nice when it comes to China. It’s amazing.
He said: “He was much weaker than Chinese entrepreneurs that he did not want to criticize China or say anything that could be explained as negative towards the party.”
We opposed Musk definitions on the Chinese EVS, then They supported them at first.
“Do not be tired or asked for these definitions,” he is CNBC said At the Paris Technology Conference in May after President Joe Biden announced a 100 % tariff on Chinese Chinese EV imports. (The American EV tariff does not apply to Tesla because none of the cars you make in China is sold in the United States)
Musk has also made favorable comments about China’s position in Taiwan, a democracy of a self -government island claiming Beijing as its lands and says it is determined to control even if it means using force.
“There is some inevitability for the situation,” he told CNBC in 2023.
Such comments were praised by Chinese officials and condemned by Taiwan, which rejects the claims of Beijing.
Some believe that warm musk relations with the Chinese government can be a blessing of relations between the United States of China.
“Elon Musk can play a positive, and based role, and even in linking China and the United States during this difficult time, especially to deal with Trump,” said Wang Yiwei, director of the International Affairs Institute at Renmin University in China in Beijing.
Others see potential risks than a reward, including American lawmakers. Last month, Republican and Democratic leaders of the China’s House selection committee warned that Beijing may try to use Musk to persuade Trump towards more favorable policies.
“I think CCP will try to take advantage of any opportunity,” said MP John Molinaar, R-head, Chairman of the Committee, in A. The Brockengs Institute event In Washington last month.
“Will people search for that? And make sure that it is its path that does not affect China’s policy? I think this is the case.”
Representative Raja Krishnamurthi, DEL, a member of the committee, said that the Chinese authorities “definitely see” musk “as their origin in any kind of negotiations”, a way to overcome the Trump administration officials, and is also seen as less friendly in China, such as Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Whitz.
“I hope that the president will listen to everyone very carefully,” Krishnamori said at the same event.
Even Chinese musk employees have doubts about the increasing role of Musk in Washington.
“As a businessman, he must focus on work,” said one of the employees of Tesla Factory in Shanghai, who refused his name for fear of revenge. “After all, government affairs should be dealt with by professionals.”
Union Yun told Shanghai, and Jennifer Gate told Hong Kong.
