Elon Musk raised eyebrows by likening China’s relationship with Taiwan to the US and Hawaii.
“Hope @ElonMusk can also ask the CCP to open @X to its people. Perhaps he thinks banning it is a good policy, like turning off @Starlink to thwart Ukraine’s counterstrike against Russia,” Wu wrote on X.
“Listen up, Taiwan is not part of the [People’s Republic of China] & certainly not for sale!” he added. The Chinese Communist Party claims Taiwan as its own territory and has vowed to retake it, even if military force is required.The Biden administration and other Western officials have repeatedly warned China not to take military action against Taiwan, which has been self-ruled since 1949. Congress has approved shipments of defensive weaponry to Taiwan.
Meanwhile, the US has long retained a policy known as “strategic ambiguity” toward Taiwan, in which it recognizes China’s claims on the island while retaining informal diplomatic ties with the government in Taipei. Musk has cultivated ties with the Chinese government for years as Tesla expanded sales and production of its electric vehicles within the country – an arrangement that has drawn intense scrutiny from US lawmakers wary of Beijing’s intentions.Taiwan has self-ruled for decades.
