Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla company, made a decision that he was exposed to criticism. With the opening of a showroom in the city of Xinjiang, where China’s inhumane sanctions against Uyghur Turks took place, it garnered reactions.
This news, announced in the Chinese-supported social media application Weibo, caused reactions on social media and in the US Senate. Here are the details…
“National corporations like Tesla are helping to cover up the genocide”
Tesla announced on Weibo on December 31, “We are meeting in Xinjiang on the last day of 2021. Let’s start Xinjiang’s electric journey together in 2022!” made the statement. A group photo of banners with the words “Tesla heart Xinjiang” was added to this description. Last month, US President Joe Biden signed a law on the “Forced Labor of Uyghur Turks” and announced that they would politically boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Upon these political developments in the USA, Tesla company’s opening a showroom in Xinjiang drew a great reaction from the US Senate. Senator Rubio Press posted on Twitter: “National corporations are helping the Chinese Communist Party cover up genocide and slave labor in the region. ” said.
Another reaction to the showroom opened by Elon Musk came from Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesperson of the American-Islamic Relations Council. “No American company should do business in an area that is the focus of a campaign of genocide targeting religious and ethnic minorities,” Hooper said. ” said.
Most of the comments from Elon Musk’s Tesla showroom are not bad. In the social media posts on the subject, there are those who think that “Elon Musk made a good move for the development and construction of the Xinjiang region.”
Intel apologizes to China
In the bill passed by the US Senate on December 17, it was stated that “If China does not prove that it did not force the Uyghur Turks to work, the importation of products produced in this region will be prohibited.” Upon these statements, the US technology giant Intel announced that raw materials should not be purchased from the Uyghur region. The company, which made an apology after the reactions, could not prevent the call for a boycott of Chinese users.
Do you think Tesla will face a sanction by the USA for this approach? We are waiting your comments…
