So because Uyghurs are oppressed by China, Uyghurs aren’t allowed to have a Tesla dealership? Solving oppression with more oppression?!? Seems to me adding a tesla dealership there is supporting the local populace, not oppressing them. Btw, there are many car dealerships there.

Ford and GM already have showrooms in Xinjiang and VW has a car plant there too.

Just saw the video of a Fin that found out it would cost him $22000 to get his battery replaced. He took that bitch and had professionals surround it with high explosives, and blew it into bits and pieces. He had it filmed from several angles. It was impressive. $22K 4 a batt.

There is no democracy in China. The World must realize that the era of one size fits all is gone. Countries must be allowed to be different and pursue their own growth agenda. Simply because Democracy has worked for some doesn't mean that Democracy can work for all.
