MCD China was sold to a local group back then, Carlye was just taking role. Since then MCD China doubled the store numbers. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/09/business/dealbook/mcdonalds-china-citic-carlyle.html My sense is that they dislike hot money to treat their stock market as ATM, and want long term money
TSLA was smart IMO when they built the $5B factory in China. They borrowed the money from China banks so if China were to try taking the factory in a war they'd be taking it from China banks so less motive to *steal* the factory from TSLA.
Yes, but TSLA controls the software in every vehicle it makes. It could disable every vehicle unless China creates it's own software. Not as easy as it may seem. Ask the other auto companies. China has plenty other EV companies. It's the software in TSLA that's above the rest.
TSLA’s tech is commercial, at best is proprietary, don’t think it is the best. Everyone can make EV cars these days, even the Vietnamese.
