The meeting at Diaoyutai was very unusual

Watching the news broadcast, on the afternoon of April 28, at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the prime minister met with Musk.

In the video, the prime minister and Musk are both smiling, the prime minister talks eloquently, and Musk nods frequently.

Diplomacy is no small matter, and this is certainly an unusual meeting.

Because according to Reuters' analysis, Musk's visit to China this time is "an unexpected visit".

There was no notice before, but suddenly Musk flew to Beijing.

Although it is the Beijing Auto Show these days, and electric vehicles undoubtedly occupy the C position, Tesla did not participate in the auto show. So much so that when Ren Hongbin, president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, asked in person, Musk explained: We didn't go, and neither did we go to the American auto show......

This is a very personal entrepreneur, although it is a very formal occasion, Musk is still bearded, also wears a suit and tie, but also wears a pair of sneakers.

But this does not prevent the harmonious atmosphere of the meeting, because it should be regarded as a meeting of old friends.

Musk, who also serves as the boss of X (Twitter), soon tweeted in Beijing and sighed: It is an honor to meet Premier Li Qiang. We have known each other since we were in Shanghai, and it has been many years now.

Goodbye to Beijing, naturally there is no emotion.

And most importantly, what was discussed?

Looking at the Xinhua News Agency report, the prime minister said two paragraphs.

In the first paragraph, the prime minister said that the economies of China and the United States are deeply integrated, and both can benefit from the development of the other. Tesla's development in China is a successful example of China-US economic and trade cooperation. Facts have shown that equality and cooperation and mutual benefit are the most in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the common aspiration of the two peoples. We hope that the US will work with China in the same direction, follow the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, promote the sustained and stable development of China-US relations, and better benefit the people of the two countries and the world.

In the second paragraph, the premier said that foreign-funded enterprises are indispensable and important participants and contributors to China's development, and China's super-large-scale market will always be open to foreign-funded enterprises. China will continue to work hard to expand market access and strengthen service guarantees, so as to provide a better business environment and stronger comprehensive support for foreign-funded enterprises, so that enterprises from all countries can invest in China with peace of mind and peace of mind, and better achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

As I understand it, there are two key words:

Openness, openness, openness;

Cooperation, cooperation, cooperation.

Specifically.

1. Tesla, your development in China is a successful example of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation.

Please note: Success stories.

This is definitely highly rated.

2. From Tesla to Sino-US relations, and then it is a matter of small words, such equal cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results are the most in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the common expectations of the two peoples.

The United States, the United States, less tossing and more cooperation, which is good for both countries.

3. From Tesla to the cause of foreign investment, the prime minister promised: China's super-large market will always be open to foreign-funded enterprises.

Note two key words: hyperscale market, always!

4. The Prime Minister also promised to provide a better business environment and stronger comprehensive support for foreign investment.

Foreign companies, you can invest in China with peace of mind.

It was the boss of Tesla, but a clear signal was sent to all foreign-funded companies and, of course, to the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

This is also another important meeting with China related to the United States after the supreme leader met with US Secretary of State Blinken.

Coming to China again, Musk is also very emotional.

According to the Xinhua News Agency, he told the prime minister: Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory is Tesla's best-performing factory, thanks to the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese team. Tesla is willing to further deepen cooperation with China and achieve more win-win results.

I believe that Musk must have said this from the heart.

Tesla has many factories around the world, but which one is as efficient as the Shanghai Gigafactory?

No!

Successful examples are not just casual words.

Therefore, Musk also commented on himself: Our Shanghai Gigafactory is Tesla's best-performing factory, and then added that this is thanks to the industrious wisdom of the Chinese team.

It is indeed inseparable from China!

Finally, what do you think?

Completely personal opinion, does not represent any organization, or three superficial points.

First, China is sending a signal to Tesla and the world.

As I said earlier, that is, a more open and better business environment, welcome foreign companies to China, we are mutually beneficial and win-win!

The prime minister still has a very good set of work to do.

Second, Musk is indeed not simple.

Although in the United States in the world, Musk is a controversial figure. For example, he called on Ukraine to negotiate as soon as possible, he sided with Trump to become president again, and his highly personalized view of marriage and family, anyway, there are many people who praise him and many people who scold him.

But that doesn't stop him from being a brilliant entrepreneur, and it doesn't stop him from being tempted to say something fair.

For example, on the issue of TikTok, he recently bluntly said: "I don't think TikTok should be banned in the United States, although the ban may benefit Platform X, but it is contrary to freedom of speech and expression, which is not in line with the position of the United States." ”

Tesla is actively deploying in China, and China will not treat Tesla badly.

On the day Musk arrived in China, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers officially issued a notice that 76 models of 6 car companies including Tesla passed the compliance requirements for automotive data security. Tesla is the only foreign company that meets the requirements.

In addition, according to Yicai, Tesla said that various places have successively lifted the ban on driving and parking restrictions on intelligent networked vehicles such as Tesla.

Third, the prospects for cooperation are limitless.

Therefore, Musk also said that he will further deepen cooperation with China and achieve more win-win results.

Watching Yuyuan Tan Tian's video, he also lost a sentence: I am glad to see the progress of electric vehicles in China, and all cars will be electric in the future.

Coincidentally, on the same day, the prime minister went to the Beijing Auto Show. According to the Xinhua News Agency report, the prime minister was very emotional, saying that he felt very encouraged by the auto show and wanted to vigorously develop intelligent networked new energy vehicles.

Electric vehicles are in the ascendant!

Tesla, Chia Da has a future.

Musk, welcome to Beijing.

Finally, I have a small suggestion, Tesla might as well participate in the next Beijing Auto Show.

Maverick is a style, but old mavericks, but also beware of falling behind, especially in the world's most volatile Chinese auto market.
