Downvoted.
But based on my talk with my friends in Shanghai Auto, and LandRover China (with Geely), the Chinese government pretty much are going to keep Tesla in China as the Catfish in the muddy water. The theory is to have a strong predator to force the weaker players to die and stronger to learn.
The government learned that the organizational structure inside Chinese domestic firms are not going to provide the soil for creative work.
Tesla is treated like a teacher, but they are not touched, as that defeat the whole purpose of having a strong predator in the market.
You might disagree, but I guarantee that Chinese government is not blind to where it needs to learn.
- crocodiletears 7y agoThis is quite interesting to see written out explicitly. I've nothing to add save the fact that I'm continuously impressed with China's ability to raise up its technology sectors using just enough protectionism to make them sustainable without so much as to coddle them so that they don't lack viability on the global stage once they've been raised up. Huawei comes to mind.
