RE:RE:RE:TESLA..totally bad news..Yasch said, "Across the western pond, in China, Tesla has a completely new herd of cats to deal with. There are at least 40 EV companies there, and about 10 of them are very well-funded going concerns. You think they're happy to see Tesla dominate brand admiration and sales on their home turf? Add in the fact that the Chinese government at the national and local level is often in bed with or in the boardrooms of these companies."
The Chinese government will do anything to give their industries an advantage, and this includes putting up obstacles for foreign corporations such as Tesla. If you want to play on their turf, unfortunately you are forced to compete on a playing field that is in no way level. They recognize that Tesla is the major competition for the Chinese EV/AV companies so Tesla will always be in their sights.
