Musk said in an interview with the Financial Times that the way to avoid conflicts in the Taiwan Strait is to establish a reasonable "special administrative region" for Taiwan, and in fact, a looser agreement than Hong Kong may be reached.

At the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on October 9, a reporter asked: Tesla founder Musk’s remarks about Taiwan have attracted widespread attention. Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said Musk’s remarks were unacceptable. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said that the root cause of tension and turmoil in the Taiwan Strait is that the DPP authorities collude with external forces to seek "independence" provocation. Only by resolutely curbing the separatist relationship of "Taiwan independence" and opposing interference from external forces can peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait be maintained.
Mao Ning emphasized that "peaceful reunification, One country, Two systems " is our basic policy to solve the Taiwan issue and the best way to achieve national reunification. On the premise of ensuring national sovereignty, security and development interests, Taiwan can implement a high degree of autonomy as a special administrative region. The social system and lifestyle of Taiwanese compatriots will be fully respected, and the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwanese compatriots will be fully protected. China's unification will not harm the legitimate interests of any country, but will only bring more development opportunities to all countries and inject more positive energy into prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world. We hope and are happy to see more and more people understand and support "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems". As for the remarks of the DPP authorities you mentioned, they are not worth refuting at all. No matter what the DPP authorities say, they cannot change the basic fact that Taiwan is an indivisible part of China's territory.
