As the United States intensifies pressure on China due to human rights issues in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, it has been revealed that electric car maker Tesla has opened a showroom in the Autonomous Region, and criticisms are being heard in the United States.
Tesla posted a photo of the commemorative event on Chinese SNS on the 31st of last month, saying that it opened a showroom in Urumqi, the central city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The United States is increasing pressure on China because of human rights issues, and last month it just passed a law banning the import of products believed to have been produced by forced labor in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
For this reason, in the United States, there are a series of criticisms of Tesla from councils made up of Muslims and industry groups in the manufacturing industry.
Saki, a spokesman for the White House, said on the 4th that he would not mention a specific company, saying, "In general, private companies should oppose China's human rights violations in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region." I did.
China has become an important market for Tesla along with the United States, and has not commented on a series of criticisms.
Regarding the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the US semiconductor giant Intel was asked not to procure products from the autonomous region last month, and after notifying its business partners, the opposition in China has increased and it has been forced to apologize. ..
