Now if Washington really forces Tesla to close stores, it will become a big scandal between the United States and Tesla. The United States slashed a knife in its own body, and the pain could never be China.
Tesla is recently under siege by its own "American compatriots" because of the opening of a new exhibition hall in Xinjiang, China. White House spokesman Psaki responded by saying that "private companies should oppose China's human rights abuses and genocide in Xinjiang" and warned that Tesla "faces serious legal, reputational and customer risks."

Psaki's "guidance" to enterprises has no rigorous legal or moral logic, and it is essentially a kind of threatening speech of the government to enterprises. This is also related to the previous signing of the so-called "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act" by the United States. Therefore, for Tesla's normal business behavior in Xinjiang, rubio, the drafter of the "bill" and an anti-China congressman in the United States, expressed his "anger" on social media for the first time. Attacks on China, which have no bottom line and no control, are spreading in Washington as rapidly as the Ami kerong virus. I have to say that this is really a kind of political degeneration.
The so-called Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is a domestic evil law based on lies, and multinational companies operating in China are not obliged to comply with it. Moreover, Tesla is opening a shop in Xinjiang to sell cars, which does not involve any "forced labor in the supply chain" at all. The reason why Rubio and the White House are angry is not because Tesla violated the "evil law", but because just when Washington was gathering various forces to suppress Xinjiang, Tesla was a "retrograde".

This is not only a matter of Washington's "tiger whiskers" being disgraced, but also related to its entire insidious plot of "using Xinjiang to control China." Washington has concocted a "terrible" story of Xinjiang, on which all repression builds. But if Tesla develops well in Xinjiang, it is equivalent to opening a window for the international community to understand the actual situation in Xinjiang. Just as a needle can easily pierce a large balloon, the more people in the world know the truth about Xinjiang, the more difficult it will be for Washington's political plot to continue. Therefore, Washington's threat to intimidate Tesla is to create an atmosphere of terror and deter more "retrogrades" from appearing. But this kind of political high-profile is actually an extreme lack of heart.
As an American company, Tesla has achieved great success in the Chinese market, which shows that the space for sino-US economic and trade mutually beneficial cooperation is incomparably broad. Up to now, Tesla has opened 211 stores in Chinese mainland, covering 60 cities. Tesla was shorted by Wall Street, Musk shed tears several times, and in his most difficult time, it was Shanghai that extended an olive branch to him. Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory delivered 413,283 vehicles in fiscal 2021, accounting for nearly half of Tesla's global car deliveries. Isn't such a fact more powerful and illustrative than the false and empty slogans of Washington politicians?
Tesla's opening of a store in Xinjiang also reflects the openness and self-confidence of Xinjiang and even the whole of China. China itself has many local new energy vehicle brands, but China has not raised the threshold for market access, let alone blocked foreign companies such as Tesla. China's new energy vehicles compete with Tesla on the same stage, and they have also won their respective market shares. Now if Washington really forces Tesla to close stores, it will become a big scandal between the United States and Tesla. The United States slashed a knife in its own body, and the pain could never be China.
Don't engage in political interference with market behavior, which Washington often talks about, but now it has begun to "talk about martial arts" on its own. Washington is struggling with economic laws, hoping to shape technology and technology concerns through political power and ideology, using artificial means to force companies to make choices that violate the law, and fantasizing about one day building a "high-end technology alliance" that excludes China. This makes people have to sigh that the United States is really not confident. Twisted with the trend and the general trend, the United States is doomed to struggle.
People have seen that the rapid improvement of China's competitiveness has caused Americans to tear off the veil of hypocrisy and are gradually losing confidence in competing with China's Zhengda Guangming. To this end, it does not hesitate to fabricate lies to attack and smear China, and does not hesitate to force allies and multinational enterprises to choose sides and be subject to "splint gas". However, in the face of the mighty tide of the times, how long can this hegemony of the United States that moves against the current last?
