1. I think he did through competition. We picked up right when he entered the Chinese market. He also invested more money in China than I care to even check.
2. Even if he didn't, where the hell are you going with this? I said we don't need Taylor Swift's singing crap in China and you're talking about exactly what Elon Musk did or didn't bring to China?? Of all the point-to-point arguments I made against you, look at the length of my post, this is what you choose to linger on while failing to answer everything else??

Remember that it was the Shanghai city government and Chinese banks that gave Tesla the land and money to build the Shanghai factory. At the time, Tesla was flirting (again) with bankruptcy.

Tesla's entry did spur Chinese domestic industry, but it was already on that trajectory anyway.

Tesla, unlike Apple, sourced 90% of its components locally. China's EV industry was ascendant, true, but Tesla Shanghai helped to develop its standards. It was a win for both sides.

Hong Kong as a international city is collapsing so hard under the new regime that airline passenger traffic at HK airport has increased 42% in 1 year period

When you compare with 2023 which was still down from covid effects, of course the growth was big. What they need is some big events, like Taylor Swift concerts, that will bring in foreign tourists.

As we predicted it here 3 years ago:
The outlook for Hong Kong migrants in Britain through 2025 appears increasingly unsustainable. Financial advisors predict that by mid-2025, approximately 40% of BN(O) families may need to make the difficult decision to return to Hong Kong or seek opportunities in other countries, particularly Singapore or Taiwan, where their professional qualifications and experience hold more value. Those determined to remain in Britain face difficult choices. Many will need to relocate from expensive southeastern regions to more affordable areas in the Midlands or North, potentially further limiting their job prospects. Others may need to accept permanent career changes, abandoning professional aspirations for more stable, if modest, income sources.
