As we all know, as the richest man in the world, the head of Tesla Elon Musk is a person who is willing to share his political and economic views with the public, and he does not shy away from many sensitive topics. In a lunch conversation initiated by a reporter from the " Financial Times ", Musk expressed his views on the Taiwan issue, saying that setting Taiwan as a "special administrative region" in China may be a relatively ideal approach. Although this method will not satisfy everyone, he personally believes that a looser agreement between the mainland and Taiwan can be reached than Hong Kong.
Naturally, Musk has corresponding concerns when he put forward the above view. In the interview, he said that if conflict breaks out due to the Taiwan issue, large companies like Tesla and Apple will be involved, and the global economic situation will inevitably be hit hard, and it is not surprising that there will be significant losses.
This is not the first time Musk has expressed his views on the Taiwan issue. Earlier, when Pelosi fled Taiwan, at Tesla's shareholders' meeting, someone asked Musk how he viewed the Taiwan issue and the geopolitical risks of China and the United States. The question of
is really hard to answer. On one hand, it is your own country and on the other hand, it is the market on which to survive. If you respond poorly, you are very likely to be held back. Faced with this sharp problem, Musk looked embarrassed, and then smiled embarrassedly. After a while, he said reluctantly, hoping that the two countries could maintain peace, respect each other, and smooth things out in a rather proper way.
There is no doubt that Musk is the most active business giant in the West nowadays. Unlike other Western business leaders who hold up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to curse, and treat the Chinese market with "political correctness", Musk generally adheres to the attitude of business and looks at the Chinese market that has made him make a fortune from an objective and respectful perspective.
Still remember that from 2019 to early 2020, benefiting from the positive effects of Shanghai's super factory and the Chinese market, Tesla bottomed out and rebounded and its stock price soared. Musk flew to Shanghai from Los Angeles overnight. He was so excited that he took off his clothes on the spot. He performed a self-written and acted " Panda Dance ", and even said with emotion: "Without China's support, there would be no Tesla today."
Indeed, although these words are certainly a show, as a businessman with the main goal of pursuing profit, it is understandable. If you can look at China from a rational perspective and respect the Chinese people and their national sentiments, China will open the door to convenience, provide convenience for foreign capital to come to China to invest and start businesses, and achieve the goal of mutual benefit and win-win results.
As Musk's status, he dared to make the statement that he would set Taiwan as the China Special Administrative Region in public, which to some extent also reflects the expectations of the American business community. They do not want conflicts in the Taiwan Strait or China-US, which will in turn affect the current world economic order. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China and the peaceful reunification of the cross-strait, which is the basic consensus of the current international community.
Musk said in an interview that the mainland and Taiwan can reach a looser agreement than Hong Kong, and we are not inconvenient to speculate on this, but from the previous series of statements by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee at the "Release Conference on the Development of Work on Taiwan and Cross-Strait Relations", we can also see the institutional arrangements after Taiwan's return.
spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang said that peaceful reunification and One country, two systems are the basic principles to solve the Taiwan issue. Once Taiwan returns, it will actively listen to the opinions and suggestions of people from all walks of life on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and fully take care of the emotions and interests of Taiwanese compatriots, so as to explore the specific implementation forms of one country, two systems in Taiwan.
We cannot blindly judge whether the mainland and Taiwan can reach a more relaxed "one country, two systems" agreement. The only thing that can be affirmed is that the mainland is willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and efforts. This is not only the international community's expectation for solving the Taiwan issue, but also the unchanging wish of 1.4 billion compatriots.
