Is he treasured on the outside in China?

Zoë Schiffer: Can you talk to me on that relationship? And also, what is the treable position like in china? Is seen as a popular, fresh car?

Zeyi Yang: It is simply specific of, because for the longest time, Chinese mark marks have been inferior to foreign marks. Tesla always has that halo as this American electric company. But lose as I talk. Furthermore, when we talk about the relationship between Tesla and China, sometimes I forget how much the dates again. There is a very interesting figure we have to talk. His name is zhuangly. He used to be minister of the information industry and information technology. On the basis, the ministry of the head of the innovations in China. It’s gone to San Francisco in 2008 and tried one of the streets, one of the first electric cars that tesla hay. Because it came from the auto industry, it was an electrical nerd. That’s how it all started. Then, from the first visit of musk to China in 2014, he met this guy again. Tried really to push for her to sell her car, and then we know and texts and tesla and tesla and tesla and heavy is one of the most productive structures for Tesla. It’s also one of the biggest market for tesla. Also absolutely cannot lose China.

Zoë Schiffer: You are fascinating, because we know with other technologies as Google and Meta, they truly tried, really failed to fail in some cascials. But the elon bite has been able to prosecute. We know why it was?

Zeyi Yang: I think it helps that you work in a car company instead of a social society, for there is a so much control of information and internet in China. While you are just doing a car, he didn’t really crossed those red that China has. Also there is only Aica the miny, the last two decers, and he really thought, “Axictued PLEASE PLUX BETTENE OF THE WORLD AS THE WORLD AS A FORGET.” It made heavy to make a part of his or her organ of his pride, and even investing to build an empire and empire. That’s why Tesa becomes a very central part of this and contributed to what China has obtained so far.

Zoë Schiffer: Well, which brings in my next question, why are china truly invested in electric vehicles. In the part, I think, to reduce his dependence on the importance of foreign oil. How’s it going so far?

Zeyi Yang: Okay well, I will say. Yes. China has no rich oil reserves, and it is ourselves in oil by many places for the longest time. That’s why the Chinese government is always very attentive that, because if, for example, a world war happens, which oil supplies to be cut. What about it? I think the early days, I will say the first years to 2000, the idea of ​​electric vehicles was this electrical idea was this monshot idea. Where they think, “maybe, if a day you will be fueled for electricity, then we don’t need to import this college and we’ll be so secure if war broke.” Is when they started investing in investing in the pursuit of batteries and electric vehicles with college research funds. But then, who led gradually to the chinese companies in construction. They subsided a lot in a car company that can make a product that comes to run on the road and customers can buy. All those, then years of spending, I have led to what we should now, that is a poor elected car market in China. I think the latest data says 50 per cent of consumers when they try to buy a new car, go for electric rather than a gas car. It’s quiteable enough.
