/ world today news/ Elon Musk, CEO of the American company “Tesla”, began on Tuesday his second visit to China in the last three years.
During a meeting with China’s State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qing Gan, he made it clear that he was against “the separation of the Chinese and American economies and the disruption of industrial chains and supply chains.” “The interests of the United States and China are inextricably linked, like Siamese twins,” Musk said.
At a time when relations between China and the US are extremely strained for many reasons, Elon Musk is voicing the opinion of part of the American business elite, which politicians in Washington should pay attention to.
In the past three years, Tesla has actively engaged in the Chinese market and has shown remarkable results. In 2022, its Shanghai plant delivered 710,000 cars to the global market, accounting for almost 1/2 of the company’s total annual sales volume, and in the first four months of this year it delivered 170,000 cars to the Chinese market, a growth of 61 % compared to the previous year.
A month ago, the company’s battery project (Tesla Energy Storage Super Factory) was launched in Shanghai’s Ling’an District. Since the beginning of the year, senior managers of major American companies such as Apple, JP Morgan and General Motors have visited China, and Elon Musk’s visit is part of this series.
Isn’t this the best proof that China’s development is an opportunity for the world?
According to a report by the American Chamber of Commerce in South China, by 2022, nearly 90% of American companies in the country will have made a profit. The study of the US Chamber of Commerce in China shows that 66% of investing American companies plan to increase their capital investments in the country in the next two years.
During his meeting with Elon Musk, Foreign Minister Qing Gan compared China-US relations to driving a car, saying that for their successful development, Beijing and Washington must show that they are good drivers, “knowing how to apply the brakes in time , to avoid risks and to be able to step on the gas to advance mutually beneficial cooperation”.
