Musk's surprise visit to China wrote a "surprise" chapter
As a "big man" in the field of electric vehicles, he should have made a big show and attracted much attention, but this time he acted unexpectedly low-key and did not even participate in the American auto show. It wasn't until a conversation with the president of the CCPIT that he humorously explained: "We didn't go to (the auto show), in fact, we never went to the American auto show." ”
Li Qiang signaled goodwill to release China's "heavy" signal
In fact, this trip to Beijing has ulterior motives. Compared with Tesla's development in China, Musk's meeting with Premier Li Qiang is the highlight. Judging from the content of the talks, the two sides have indeed made some preparations.
Li Qiang first gave Tesla the highest evaluation of its development in China, directly calling it an "example of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation". For an entrepreneur like Musk, it is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation. However, Li Qiang's "overtures" are much more than that. He made it clear that China's door will always be open to foreign investment, and will provide a better business environment and policy support for foreign investment, "so that enterprises from all countries can invest in China with peace of mind and peace of mind."
Musk is looking forward to the Chinese market
These words are undoubtedly the greatest gift to Musk. As the head of Tesla, Musk naturally understands everything. During the meeting, he expressed his heart and said that he was "crazy in love" with the Shanghai Gigafactory. He said it was "Tesla's best-performing factory" and that its achievements were inseparable from "the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese team." On social media after the meeting, Musk gushed endlessly, repeatedly lamenting his "indissoluble bond" with China.
The market outlook is attractive, and we look forward to deepening cooperation
Naturally, the "overtures" to each other are not without intentions. The Chinese market is an attractive "growth pole" for electric vehicles. Under such prospects, the two sides are naturally eager to further deepen cooperation. Premier Li Qiang bluntly said that he expects the United States to "move more in the same direction with China", and Musk also expressed his willingness to "deepen cooperation and win-win" with China "with enthusiasm".
It's time for Tesla to call the privilege pull
However, careful people may also notice that on the day Musk arrived in China, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers announced that Tesla became the first foreign-funded car company to pass the automotive data security compliance certification. This is undoubtedly the biggest "recognition" of Musk's company. According to relevant media reports, China is also gradually lifting the restrictions on intelligent networked vehicles. Of course, this is good news for a car company like Tesla, but the world is so big that we must be tolerant of other voices.
Musk's prophecy
What's more, Musk lamented during his visit to China: "It's great to see the development of electric vehicles in China, and all cars will be electric in the future." For the electric vehicle industry, this is undoubtedly the biggest "voice of support".
The easing of relations between China and the United States depends on business
Will an action related to the future industrial pattern begin? On the one hand, there is sincerity in "further opening up", and on the other hand, there is enthusiasm for "embracing the Chinese market". As long as the actions of both sides are put into practice, new energy fields such as electric vehicles will surely sail on a broader road and reap more win-win results.
