During a pre-recorded stream at the World New Energy Vehicle Congress, Musk said that Chinese automakers were the \u201cmost competitive in the world.\u201d At the World Internet Conference recently, Musk called China a \u201cglobal leader in digitization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk also stated: \u201cMy frank observation is that China spends a lot of resources and efforts applying the latest digital technologies in different industries, including the automobile industry, making China a global leader in digitalization.\u201d Musk added: \u201cTesla will continue to expand our investment and R&amp;D efforts in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that Musk has greatly praised China. In July, Musk and the official Tesla account on the Chinese social media website Weibo celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/07\/03\/revealed-elon-musk-tesla-go-full-shill-for-communist-china-on-chinese-social-media-site-weibo\/\">reported at the time<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"20.209951456311\">\n<p>Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and his electric car company Tesla have shared full-blown praise of the Chinese Communist Party on China\u2019s equivalent to Twitter, Breitbart News can reveal.<\/p>\n<p>The verified&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/elonmusk?is_all=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">accounts<\/a>&nbsp;for Elon Musk and top Chinese Tesla&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/u\/7200283472?refer_flag=1005050003_&amp;is_all=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">representatives<\/a>&nbsp;on the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo have all been adorned with personalised backgrounds celebrating the one hundred year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP):<\/p>\n<p>The background celebrating the centenary of the CCP does not appear to have been a mandatory feature by the Chinese site, as other users, including one of Tesla\u2019s main&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/teslaofficial?refer_flag=1005050010_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">accounts<\/a>, do not feature the communist banner art.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore it is likely that someone who manages Elon Musk and other Tesla social media accounts in China made the decision to honour the murderous regime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In January, Musk praised China for being \u201cmore responsible\u201d than the United States.
