Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made plans to visit China in the coming weeks and hopes to meet with the country’s new premier, Li Qiang, Reuters reported on Friday. The billionaire’s last trip to the country was in 2020, during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Musk is looking to travel “as early as April,” though the exact timing will depend on Li’s schedule, the outlet said, citing two sources with knowledge of the trip. They did not reveal exactly what Musk plans to do in the country, or what he hopes to achieve through his meeting with the premier.

Tesla, which has established a significant market in China, has not confirmed the reported travel plans.

Musk met with Li previously at the 2019 opening of Tesla’s ‘gigafactory’ in Shanghai, and the two later held a meeting online, where the CEO thanked him for supporting the plant throughout the pandemic, according to local media reports. At the time, Li served as Shanghai’s party secretary and was involved in the construction of the factory, the company’s largest production facility. He took over as the eighth premier of the State Council of China earlier this month, after Xi Jinping began his third term as president.

While Musk’s last visit to China came in early 2020, just weeks into the global coronavirus outbreak, he has delivered a number of virtual addresses for events based in the country – including its 2021 World Internet Conference, where he vowed to boost Tesla’s investments in China.

US President Joe Biden has said Musk’s “cooperation and or technical relationships” with foreign powers are “worthy of being looked at,” but hastened to add that he was not accusing the entrepreneur of “doing anything inappropriate.” Though multiple media reports last year stated that the White House had launched a “national security review” of Musk’s overseas business dealings, the Biden administration later insisted the claims were “not true.”
Despite Musk’s growing financial ties with China, Beijing itself has also voiced concerns about some of his ventures, with military researchers previously calling to develop a way to “destroy”SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network should it become necessary. Tesla’s electric cars have also reportedly been banned from Chinese military facilities due to the cameras installed on the vehicles, a directive imposed soon after a contentious meeting between US and Chinese officials in Alaska in 2021.

Volgens mij is de boodschap dat kwaliteit van leven belangrijker is dan kwantiteit en dat je je dus niet overal overmatig druk om.moet maken.

Waarom opent Musk een batterijfabriek in Shanghai?
De afdeling Sjanghai van de CCP biedt toch tegenkracht aan Xi?
Of is het een poging om Shanghai en Beijing te verzoenen?

Een handjevol landen is opvallend ruim voorzien. Dat zijn Bolivia, Argentinië, Chili, de VS, Australië, China en Zimbabwe. Die laatste vebiedt export en is van plan zelf fabrieken voor batterijen te bouwen met geld afkomstig van China.
Ook in Europa zit de nodige lithium in de grond, onder meer in Portugal, Tsjechië en Duitsland.

Aziatische accuproducenten lopen mijlen voor op hun Europese collega's.
 
Elon heeft zojuist een BBC reporter VERMORZELD in een interview!



Op mijn Twitter-account nog veel meer tweets hierover, teveel om hier te plaatsen. Dit is GOUD! En als je daar toch bent, ik heb hetzelfde gedaan met vrouwen die denken de Bijbel te kunnen herschrijven zodat ze er zelf ninder onderdanig uitkomen. You can't beat male logic!
