The purchase of Twitter made us move our focus away from the rest of the Elon Musk companies. But the South African tycoon, a savvy businessman with an empire to take care of him, did not neglect his other endeavors. To the point that this Tuesday he had a vvisit to Beijing, where he met with the authorities of the Chinese regime in order to strengthen their business relationships.
Politically correct comments came and went. Everything seemed like a rose garden, as if there had never been a block, barrier or adversity in business between China and the United States.
In the past we have witnessed how Huawei has registered multiple problems in North America, especially with the previous government, presided over by donald trump.
Something similar happens with TikTok, a platform that had to open offices in the United States to avoid restrictions in that territory.
However, what China says, through Mao Ning, spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, is true: “China has always welcomed businessmen from various countries, including Elon Musk, to visit China to better understand the country and promote thus a beneficial cooperation”.
However, in order for them to operate, they must meet their requirements, which are far from being free trade.
“China will continue to promote high-level opening up and remain committed to creating a law-based and market-oriented international business environment for companies around the world, including Tesla,” Ning said, according to a review by Bio Bio Chile.
The strange comparison of Elon Musk
In the midst of the praise and good treatment that China and the highest representative of Tesla were giving each other, there was a somewhat strange and disturbing comparison, by Elon Musk when talking about trade between the Asian giant and the United States.
“The interests of the United States and China are interconnected like Siamese twins”, said the also owner of Twitter. “Tesla opposes decoupling and hopes to further expand its business in China,” he added.
Experts analyze that this comment is accompanied by a stronger search for entry by Tesla in China, since the Asian market is one of the most advanced in terms of electric cars with the presence of several brands that compete with Elon Musk’s company. .
