"An important message that Chinese officials have met Musk recently are that China is determined to open the economy and seek development."
The Hong Kong South China Morning Post website published on May 8th how the "old friend" diplomacy of Liu Ningrong, the vice president of Hong Kong University Associative, affects its economic future.The article said that the significance of Chinese officials to meet the meaning of "old friend" Musk cannot be underestimated, and a glimpse of the Chinese economic trajectory.The full text is as follows:
A few days ago, Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, suddenly visited Beijing, which was regarded as a critical moment for this electric car manufacturer because it has been working hard to deal with weak demand and fiercenesscompetition.It is reported that Tesla has been allowed to launch semi -autonomous driving technology in China in principle, and the company's stock price has soared since then.
Chinese officials are not underestimated to meet the meaning of "old friend" Musk, and you can get a glimpse of the Chinese economic trajectory.
China's intention is firm: China will adhere to the opening of the economy, strive to develop into a strong technical force, promote cooperation with Western countries, consolidate economic strength, and promote world progress.
Today, China's ambitions and strategies are to overcome the political isolation, economic decoupling and technical blockade of the United States.China's focus is on the background of the Cold War to fight for American business and technology giants.China has not retreated on the road to seeking becoming a global high -tech center.
By receiving Tesla's semi -autonomous driving technology, China aims to determine its status as a pioneer of innovation and test field.China's new economic positioning will be driven by high -tech, focusing on advanced manufacturing.This is the only feasible way to maintain long -term growth in China.
In the past 20 years, Chinese startups, which have been ridiculed as pure imitator, have surpassed American counterparts, many high -tech companies, including Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, have flourished in China's ecosystem.
Obviously, just like the US -Japan competition in the 1970s and 1980s, China's rise will eventually bring benefits to the US economy.
Although the Western country pursues the "risk" strategy, China still hopes to keep close connections with the West to avoid decoupling.Through contact with American business leaders and technology giants like Musk and Tesla, China hopes to show that it is committed to cooperation.
For multinational companies, the potential of the vast Chinese market cannot be ignored.For example, Tesla and Apple's about one -fifth of the sales are from China.
Apple's recent sales are better than expected. Apple mobile phones are still one of the best -selling smartphones in China.As for Tesla, its fully autonomous driving technology will make it not only in the competitive Chinese electric vehicle market, but also a competitive advantage in the global market.
China's goal is to maintain its status as a world factories and global supply chain centers, and this requires more and more multinational companies to participate.In fact, European and American companies such as Intel, Nvidia, Volkswagen and BMW continue to have major interests in China.
But in order to cope with the interference caused by changes in the new crown epidemic and geopolitical situation, many multinational companies have adopted the strategy of "in China, for China".This includes procurement and manufacturing in China to minimize risk and improve efficiency.
At the same time, they are diversified through the "China +1" strategic risk.This strategy involves procurement and manufacturing in alternative countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and India.
Musk visited China after a high -profile cancellation trip to China, which actually means that China has grabbed India's limelight.
India is becoming a global supply alternative center, which is the result of the supply chain transfer in the context of China and the United States.However, China is determined to attract and retain multinational companies by showing its willingness to adopt advanced technology in Western countries.
An important information of Chinese officials meet with Musk is that China is determined to open up the economy and seek development.
China tries to convince multinational companies that it is irreplaceable for global investors.China will continue to launch a charm of the American business leaders to shake Washington's position against China.
Given the current general emotions against China, these technology giants may not be seen in Washington.Nevertheless, in terms of persuading the United States public to believe in cooperation and competition with China, it will promote innovation and sustainable growth, and benefit global consumers, Musk and Microsoft founder Bill Gates (also regarded as a "old friend" in China ") And Apple CEO Tim Cook and other influential characters may have a greater impact than American politicians.(Compilation/Madan)
