Will Tesla help dialogue between Beijing and Washington?
On January 7, 2019, the head of the American company Tesla, Ilon Musk, announced the start of construction of his first, outside the United States, automobile plant in China. On January 9, 2019, Mask met in Beijing with the Premier of the State Council (Government) of the People's Republic of China Li Keqiang.
The head of the Chinese government congratulated the head of the American automaker on the start of the construction of the aforementioned plant in Shanghai. He noted that this is the first project with one hundred percent foreign capital after China took measures to expand access to the automotive industry using new energy sources. He expressed the hope that this company will contribute to the stable development of Sino-US relations.
In turn, Musk said that he expects the completion of the initial stage of construction in the summer of 2019. So the production of Model 3 electric cars, according to his calculations, should begin before the end of the year. Although the plant will reach full capacity in 2020.
- clarified the frustrated Musk.
Thus, China makes it clear that it remains the “home” for foreign investment and wants to remain so for a long time to come. After all, at a plant in Shanghai, worth $ 5 billion, Tesla plans to produce 500 thousand cars a year. So this is a very serious investment.
It should be noted that the reason that prompted Mask to take up the construction of a factory in Shanghai was the ongoing trade war between China and the United States. Americans are very concerned about Chinese duties imposed on imported automotive products. Moreover, about the relationship between Beijing and Washington in the light of what is happening on the economic "front", we in detail informed earlier.

It is very difficult to imagine that in such a short period of time it is possible to complete all the formalities for opening an entire automobile plant
