In the short term, Tesla needs China more then China needs Tesa. Tesla's shareholders would revolt if Tesla gave up the Chinese market.

In the long term, this will help bootstrap China's expertise in electric car manufacturing.

It's a brilliant economic policy. Foreign companies cannot resist access to such a large market - they can either partner, or watch their competitors do so.

Intel and several others successfully abandoned China without issue. The rational choice in high tech manufacturing is to say as far away as possible.

Intel gave China x86 IP for free (atom) + another Billion dollars "investment" to build a fab, all just in case they would be next in line for anti monopoly fine after Qualcomm got punished. Intel used to dump Atoms below manufacturing cost on Chinese market, their domestic SOC vendors didnt like that and it was either handouts painted as joint venture or heavy fines.

Wait, what do you mean Intel abandoned China?

Intel's only factory in china uses 300 or 65 nm processes. That's Pentium 4 level manufacturing, and clearly not using critical x86 IP.

They are currently building yet another US factory for 7 nm processes.

Not sure if you know about export control and the Wassenaar Arrangement. I don't think Intel can manufacture in China at the advanced node even if they wanted to.

I would not revolt if Tesla gave up china, but I only have a measly 100 shares!

Google, Facebook, Twitter, github, Pinterest, rakuten, slack, Dropbox and many others are all doing fine without China.

All companies that aren't producing any actual physical stuff. At least use a fair comparison rather than comparing a car company with a bunch of online services.

Xbox is almost certainly manufactured in China. If you know otherwise, could you provide a source?

It wasn’t sold officially in china up until three years ago.

That's because China banned all game consoles at that time. All these game companies crazily want to join that market.
