Elon Musk signs onto letter pledging Tesla's commitment to China's 'core socialist values

Elon Musk’s Tesla was the only foreign company in the lineup of 15 other automakers to sign the letter. Part of Musk’s pledge was a promise to support China’s ‘core socialist values’ and bear ‘the heavy responsibility of maintaining steady growth.’
The automakers also agreed not to ‘exaggerate or use false publicity and disrupt fair competition with abnormal pricing,’ according to Bloomberg.
China accounts for one third of Tesla’s annual sales, reports the FT. The communist country is Tesla’s second-largest market after the U.S. and the Shanghai plant is the electric car maker’s largest production hub.
Yaqiu Wang, senior China researcher with Human Rights Watch, criticized Musk’s moves, telling the FT: ‘Failing to comply with ‘core socialist values’ has been frequently used by authorities to punish speeches that are critical of the Chinese government.

Steve Bannon called out Musk years ago, you will not hear Musk criticizing the CCP/China.....too many business connections to be bad mouthing his commie partners.

I remember when U.S. politicians said if we do business with China we can eventually force U.S. values on them, in terms of democracy, freedom of speech, etc.
Looks like the opposite is happening. China's communist values are having more influence on us than our democratic values on them.

Musk is smart enough to realize that the Collective must get in the game of allocation of essential goods and services, lest a ‘French Revolution’ occur. In a ‘free market’ competition the hungry Chinese (and most any unspoiled ethnicity or people) will outperform our spoiled and unmotivated workforce hands down. That is why all the manufacturing goes over there. Or to Mexico, India, Taiwan et al. Both the kind of Constitutional Freedom and the Capitalist (Merit-based competition) economic model are - in the current civilizational dynamic- are impractical at the least and borderline immoral on the fringe. Musk knows this and walks the thin line between the two poles. Pretty honest and smart guy imo.

Guilty! I'm not a politician, but I certainly figured that would happen.

Well yeah. People bitch about China, but a lot of American corporations depend on China for resources. I can understand the corporations kissing China's arse.
I find it detestable when our politicians sell their government positions to China or any country, in pay to play schemes.

Is he going to push those policies in the IS or only in Chyna?
I hate Chyna on all fronts but if a business is doing business in Chyna they likely have to play Chynese ball.
The Biden clan pushed Chynese ideology here in the US, that’s worse in my opinion.

You are right. Elon is probably not the richest man in the world without China.

Elon is doing as much good as he can while being a whore for the CCP.
