Recently, a U.S. special plane flew to Beijing, and the well-known entrepreneur Musk made a sudden visit to China. Interestingly, Musk postponed his plan to go to India in order to visit China, which attracted strong attention from the Indian media. Musk obviously came here to ask for something from China. He had a lot of nice things to say and was just waiting for China to nod in agreement.
Ignored India's request, Musk came to China first
Previously, there was news that Musk wanted to negotiate a business with India, and the specific content was to build an automobile production plant in India. India is very much looking forward to this.
It is now the time for the general election in India. If the Modi government can attract well-known American car companies to enter India, it will undoubtedly bring high prestige to itself and allow more voters to vote for it.
What's more, India has always had the "ambition" to rival China, and even wants to replace it in some industries. If India's business environment can attract well-known businessmen like Musk, it will also be helpful to improve India's image.
But India is destined to be disappointed, not only because China's level is much higher than that of India, but also because India's business environment is very poor for foreign investment and is simply notorious.
In recent times, news about foreign capital withdrawing from India abounds. In fact, India's economy has grown very fast in recent years and is very attractive to foreign capital, but they really can't stand India's business atmosphere.
India’s market is not as prosperous as expected by the outside world. The income of most people is very low, infrastructure construction is also very poor, the quality of the labor force is not high, and deception and abduction have become the norm. India is recognized by other countries as “the most difficult country to do business in.” .
The Indian government has not played a positive role in this. It often uses extremely favorable conditions to attract foreign investment in the early stage. After the foreign investment stabilizes, it squeezes the profits of foreign investment through slow-knife cutting, and finally directly seizes a large amount of capital and will Foreign capital is driven out of India.
Looking at it this way, India is not attracting foreign investment. It is simply digging a trap for foreign investment to jump into. The Modi government is wishful thinking and claims to be the world's factory, but does not take actual actions to regulate the business environment. Instead, it adds fuel to the flames. This kind of " The behavior of "smashing the pot while eating" may make it difficult for India to achieve its wishes.
Therefore, Musk did not make India his first choice. As soon as he received the invitation from China, he immediately arrived in Beijing on a special plane, disappointing the expectations of the Modi government.
Musk is so eager because he needs China.
Musk came to China to "ask for help", and China prepared a big gift.
Musk did not make too much noise when he came this time. After all, he is an American entrepreneur, and the United States has a very clear attitude that it wants to play against China and has tried many times. To discredit China, many companies in the United States have followed suit and are hostile to China.
At such a sensitive moment, Musk came to China mainly because he is a businessman. Businessmen do not particularly care about political stances. Pursuing profits is the nature of businessmen. Now the conditions China can offer are more in line with Musk's needs. Benefit.
China's new energy industry is developing very rapidly. The United States cannot tolerate its dominance being shaken. After verbal threats are ineffective, it will surely introduce a series of policies to force China to slow down.
China may not care about the US's targeting methods, but Musk cannot. As the saying goes, "a fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond." The US sanctions against China are likely to hit Musk's car companies, so Musk must find a way out for himself. .
In fact, just recently, the U.S. automobile safety regulator announced that it would launch a new round of investigation into Musk's car company. The reason for the investigation is that it suspects that the company has serious safety vulnerabilities.
Although this may not mean that the U.S. government really wants to take action against Musk, it is normal for Musk to keep a hand to the U.S. government. What’s more, everyone can see that China is the absolute focus if we want to develop new energy vehicles in the future.
We have shown great sincerity regarding Musk's arrival. Not only did the Chinese senior officials meet with him in person, but we also prepared a big gift for him.
Recently, Musk’s car company has passed China’s four requirements for car data security and is the only foreign car company that meets the requirements. This means that Musk’s biggest purpose of coming this time has the possibility and basis to talk. .
Some people believe that Musk’s sudden visit to China is to discuss the launch of fully autonomous driving software (referred to as fsd software) in China. Previously, when faced with netizens’ questions on the Internet, “When will fsd software be launched in China?”, Ma Sk's answer was "probably soon." If the software
wants to enter China, the most important thing is information security. China's road data is very important information and cannot be leaked. Musk plans to build a local data center for this purpose, so that the collected data will only stay in China. .
Even so, Musk still has great difficulties in achieving his goal. On the one hand, autonomous driving requires high technological levels, and on the other hand, because map data is very sensitive, it is still unknown how Musk obtains qualifications.
Musk needs to make a real commitment, and cooperation with Chinese companies is the future.
Although Musk has a very friendly attitude towards China, is rare in not having a political stance, and has a lot of good things to say, these alone are not enough.
Some people believe that if Musk wants to be qualified to promote autonomous driving in China, he must not only make a promise that information will never be leaked, but also use actual actions to guarantee it.
In addition, perhaps cooperation with Chinese companies is also a good choice, but this means that Musk needs to open data sources to Chinese companies. I don’t know whether Musk can afford such a price.
As for the risk of information leakage, we should believe in the country's ability and strength. Since foreign technology is allowed to enter our country, this technology must be controllable.
The reason why Musk attaches great importance to China is not only because China has huge market potential, but also because China can discuss matters as they are, not bringing political factors into business activities, and can create a fair environment for the market.
In contrast, the United States continues to sanction Chinese companies and slanders China. It seems very petty. I believe that in the future, more and more foreign companies will see the short-sightedness of the U.S. government and choose truly fair partners. China will be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. The footprints will definitely let the world see that win-win cooperation is the future development trend.
