Tesla's layoffs led to a drop in market value of 220 billion, and Musk had a showdown and bluntly said that China is more competitive
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently announced that he would lay off employees worldwide, with a proportion of up to 10%, and as soon as the news came out, Tesla's stock price plummeted, and about 220 billion yuan evaporated out of thin air overnight. Tesla will not hesitate to make changes, which is closely related to the strong rise of Made in China. Musk has said that there are many smart people in China, and they are still very hardworking, and China's future will never lag behind the West. In addition, the visits of the U.S. Treasury Secretary, the Russian Foreign Minister, and the German Chancellor to China symbolize that the world's focus is shifting to China.
Tesla has been hit hard, and Chinese manufacturing is on the rise
Tesla, as a well-known car company, has a very hot discussion in China, and there is news that Tesla CEO Elon Musk prefers to use Chinese as executives, and there is media speculation that Musk will choose Chinese to replace him.
But Tesla has not had a good time recently, with sales hit hard and deliveries much lower than expected, and in desperation, President Elon Musk recently announced layoffs, with a proportion of up to 10%.
As soon as the news came out, Tesla's stock price immediately plummeted by about 30.4 billion US dollars, or about 220 billion yuan.
Why did Tesla, which was once in the limelight, come to this point?
[Elon Musk has accused the Democratic Party of acting]
The reasons for this are varied, but the main one is the hot sales of electric vehicles in China at home and abroad.
As a dark horse in the market, China's new energy vehicles have won a large market share, and this is just the beginning, a large number of pre-orders received by China's new energy vehicles symbolize that Made in China will become mainstream in the future.
Under the trade-off, the sales of Western car companies have fallen sharply, and Musk bluntly said that if there are no trade barriers, China will eat up most of the market.
[Electric vehicles are very popular in China]
The reason why China's new energy vehicle sales are explosive is first of all because of the price, foreigners also pursue cost-effective when buying things, and cheap is the last word.
Secondly, because the quality and output both exceed the standard, China's industrial strength is increasing day by day, no matter how big the order can be won and delivered, never let go of pigeons.
Finally, because China's new energy vehicles are getting better and better in the world, especially in some of China's neighboring countries, they are even proud to be able to drive Chinese cars, such as some Chinese car owners driving abroad, which will cause foreigners to watch strongly and inquire about the details of the car.
Foreigners used to have the impression that Made in China was cheap and counterfeit, and we often joked about it ourselves, but China is quietly working hard to improve the image of Made in China around the world, and gradually making Chinese products synonymous with high-quality, cutting-edge products.
Bright people abroad immediately saw new opportunities, and the German Chancellor recently visited China with executives from well-known companies such as Siemens, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
The German market welcomes Chinese cars, and Europe is worried about the United States
The German Chancellor's visit to China is very sincere, saying that the German market welcomes Chinese cars very much, and the German media also said that the German economy cannot do without China.
【German Chancellor's Visit to China】
The German Chancellor's visit to China was motivated by a number of considerations, such as the tepid economic recovery in Europe, Russia's gradual withdrawal from the war, and concerns about Trump's possible victory in the US election, all of which made Germany need to talk to China about cooperation, and the same concerns exist in all EU countries.
More importantly, Europe has gradually recognized the gap and understood that it will do no good to continue to engage in confrontation with China.
The European Union recently admitted that European countries have made mistakes in recent years, one is to abandon the development of nuclear energy, and the other is to rely too much on Russian gas, these two mistakes have left Europe far behind China and the United States.
However, some recent actions of the United States have shaken the confidence of European countries, and they have turned to talk about cooperation with China.
What has the United States done to cause a once-staunch ally to lose confidence?
The United States is getting deeper and deeper into it, and it does not forget to slander China
The United States is slandering China, saying that China has assisted Russia in rebuilding its military industry and has made huge profits from it, but China has refuted it, saying that the US statement is smearing Sino-Russian relations.
No one will believe the slander of the United States, and the Western countries have vaguely seen the bluff of the United States.
The arms support of Western countries to Ukraine is a well-known thing, and the United States is the main force in it, and now the United States is slandering China's assistance to Russia, which is more like making excuses for Ukraine's decline, which makes European countries see the weakness of the United States.
[The United States has aided Ukraine with a large amount of arms]
When the United States was strong, it was able to use its strength to ensure that its economy did not have major problems, but now its fatigue is gradually revealed, not only is the economic trend not good, but even its allies have to abandon it.
As long as the United States still stubbornly believes that suppressing China will make the United States strong again, the United States will only be abandoned by the times.
Because the general trend of the world is that win-win cooperation can last for a long time, and reckless militarism can only lead to decline, and it is precisely because China sees this trend that it has developed partners all over the world.
A few days ago, a schematic map of the world's largest trading partners sparked extensive discussion, showing that China's largest trading partner is ASEAN, and 80 percent of the countries' largest trading partners are all China, and only Mexico and a few other countries have the United States as their largest partner.
[Mexico has a large amount of U.S. arms]
Such a result makes us proud as Chinese, but how will the United States feel when it sees it?
The United States is very entangled because there are many voices within it, and smart people in the United States can clearly see the general trend of the world and understand that cooperation with China is more beneficial to the United States.
However, the United States is not all smart people, there is also a group of people who desperately advocate the "China threat theory" and all their actions are aimed at China, and they are eager to have no contact with China, let alone cooperate.
These two voices are at work in the United States at the same time, and the result is that the United States has a capricious attitude toward China, with one sending foreign ministers to visit China, one time suppressing China's development, the other discussing cooperation with China, and the other arranging troops at China's doorstep.
[The U.S. Treasury Secretary made unreasonable demands while visiting China]
In the face of such capricious moves, we are powerless to change the foreign countries' views on the mainland, and we can only be cautious and move forward step by step to prove to the world that the old method of fighting and killing is outdated, and that it is the trend of the times to look at the results of development and comprehensive strength.
