These days, the Shanghai Auto Show Tesla owners rights storm is boiling, in fact, from last October when Tesla cars were recalled, Musk’s life in China is getting worse and worse, the Chinese Communist Party is targeting Tesla? Or is there another plan? However, the East is not bright, two days ago, Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched a second-hand manned Dragon spacecraft, but some people say this is Musk dug a big hole for the Chinese Communist Party, what does this mean?
Well, below, let’s talk about this interesting topic together.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Hype on the Tesla Incident is Drunk
At present, the storm about the Tesla owner’s claim of “brake failure” is still fermenting, but the matter looks a bit confusing, some netizens summarized a few questions, such as whether the person driving the vehicle was speeding or not, the data released by Tesla shows that it was speeding, but the owner denies speeding; the owner’s side asks why not published data, in fact, privately Tesla gave the owner data, just not public, but when Tesla public data, the owner and think that violates the privacy of individuals, but the authenticity of the data itself does not respond; and when Tesla proposed that they pay a third party to test the vehicle brake problem, the strange thing is that the owner side somehow refused again? Another point is that the day the woman entered the showroom to defend her rights was a media day, the general audience could not enter, and netizens said that even the self-published media could not enter, so how did the woman get into the showroom? Who helped her get in?
Because there is a lot of confusion about the rights issue, some people have said that it may be a manipulated conspiracy, and now, under the hype of the Chinese Communist Party’s official media, it seems to be turning into an anti-American political event. Since the U.S.-China trade war, the Chinese Communist Party has been looking at Tesla more and more unfavorably, but Musk, still unchanged, is actively showing goodwill to the Chinese Communist Party, which is really like “Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one willing to fight, one willing to take.”
As we have said before, the Chinese Communist Party has adopted the strategy of “raising the set to kill” Tesla and other international brands, and it has worked time and again, but the problem of Tesla may not be so simple, because Musk still has a SpaceX in his hands.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is now chasing Tesla, but the CCP is actually targeting another space project of Musk’s. If things come to the point of negotiation, it may not only be about electric cars, but also about SpaceX.
Production car Musk bending technology first-class
On April 7, Musk’s SpaceX, completed the eighth launch of Starlink satellites this year, this time, Falcon 9 (Falcon 9) rocket deployed 60 Starlink satellites into orbit.
The day before, Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, had said that SpaceX’s Starlink does already have global coverage, but it is not yet fully interconnected. It is hoped that after 28 launches, global coverage will be achieved.
This means that after 4 or 5 more launches by SpaceX, the Starlink program will be able to achieve coverage across the globe, and in the first 4 months of this year, SpaceX has carried out 8 launches, and at this rate, the time for SpaceX to achieve global coverage is just around the corner.
A few days ago, Musk also tweeted that, because the development process is smoother than expected, users will be able to officially use the Starlink service as soon as this summer, and in the second half of the year, it will be possible to achieve “full mobility”, that is, allowing users to use the Starlink network even when they are moving in a camper or truck.
If you think about it, the pace of the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Tesla also seems to coincide with the acceleration of this Starlink plan. So, if Musk’s Starlink plan comes to fruition, what will be the impact on the CCP?
As we know, Starlink may make the CCP’s firewall null and void. Without this firewall of truth, the spiritual exodus of mainland people may be faster, but as Starlink is about to achieve global coverage, its greater influence will also be disclosed, and the CCP may face the loss of both people and money.
The most discussed issue at the moment is mainly the role of Musk’s Starlink to replace the current 5G technology. Some say this Starlink belongs to 6G technology, while others say it does not belong to 6G, but to a new way of communication dissemination. Defining him as which technology currently may not matter, what matters, is the effect it produces.
The current 5G technology requires the construction of a large amount of infrastructure on the ground, including “base stations”, “towers” and so on to complete the full coverage of the signal. But 6G, as long as users install a “pot cover” on the ground and the roof, to be able to receive satellite signals can be. For people in mainland China, this device looks similar to the “pots” they used to receive wireless TV signals in earlier years, but the size may be different. Only over the years, the Chinese Communist Party has begun to control the installation of this equipment.
So, since the beginning of the year, there have been rumors on the internet that Musk may be developing a new phone, and people don’t understand why Musk wants to develop a new phone.
Although Musk has not yet confirmed whether to build cell phones, but the impact of the Starlink coverage should not be underestimated. In addition to the impact on the use, the economic impact on the Chinese Communist Party may also be very serious.
If the star chain makes 5G lose its market, CCP may face huge losses
A full-coverage star chain will probably make the firewall that the CPC has painstakingly maintained null and void, and the CPC’s investment in network firewalls will also be hit by water, and the CPC’s enterprises related to the concept of network firewalls may face a disaster.
In addition, as mentioned earlier, 5G requires a lot of infrastructure construction, including base stations, towers, transmission pipelines, machine rooms and so on.
In January, the Chinese Communist Party media Xinhua mentioned that the number of 5G base stations in mainland China had reached 718,000, and the cumulative investment in 5G network construction was over RMB 260 billion, and the cumulative investment was expected to reach trillions of yuan by 2025.
According to the Chinese Communist Party’s Economic Reference News back in February, China’s telecom operators will invest more in putting in 5G networks, with planned investments by these companies in 2021 expected to be 1.5 times to twice as much as their investments in 2020.
If Starlink technology makes 5G technology lose its market, then these investments and the entire 5G industry chain of companies may face huge losses and crisis.
Therefore, some people online also say that the Starlink plan is a big hole dug by Musk for the CCP’s 5G plan.
Before that, I heard that the Chinese Communist Party is also going to make a Starlink plan. So how is this plan of the Chinese Communist Party progressing?
Chinese mainland media said that according to an update on the ITU official website, in November 2020, the CCP authorities declared the orbits and frequencies of two satellite constellations, bringing the combined total to 12,992 satellites. This means that the CCP plans to launch nearly 13,000 satellites. Is this the CCP-made star chain?
It is not yet known if any of the satellites in question have been sent into orbit, and some information speculates that the applicant for the 13,000 satellites is likely a Chinese company called Galaxy Space, although this company has only launched a few experimental satellites so far.
In the future, whether the CCP can launch such a large number of satellites into the sky will depend on how many high-end chips for satellites and rocket launch technology the CCP has.
China’s rocket launch failures are frequent
Next, let’s take a look at the rocket launch technology and chips. On April 23, an hour before sunrise, Space X sent astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for the third time. And what’s concerning is that this is the first time SpaceX has reused a rocket and spacecraft that have already been on a mission.
So what about the Chinese Communist Party’s rocket technology?
Since 2020, there has been an uptick in the number of failed CCP rocket launches, with four failed launches in 2020.
Taiwanese military expert Li Zhengxiu has told Taiwanese media that the CCP’s rocket development is all dependent on U.S. chips. After the outbreak of the U.S.-China trade war, the U.S. sanctioned the CCP, which affected the development of the CCP’s military technology aspect and led to a sharp rise in the failure rate of the CCP’s rocket launches.
There is no official word yet on whether the failure of Chinese rocket launches is caused by a shortage of chips, but in May last year, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that Huawei had stockpiled two years’ worth of cutting-edge U.S. semiconductor products.
These “cutting-edge products” are codable chips called “FPGAs”, which are important semiconductors used in communication base stations, and Ceres’ FPGAs are also used in the U.S. military’s most advanced stealth fighter jet “F35 “, as well as satellites, space exploration, etc.
Note that these high-end products are used precisely in areas related to base stations, satellites, space exploration, and the military. Is this a long-standing hint that the CCP is using a lot of cutting-edge U.S. semiconductor products like Ceres in these areas of 5G, satellites, and rocket launches?
Despite Huawei’s earlier stockpiling of high-end chips, it will be difficult to improve China’s chip shortage in the future. The recent sanctions introduced by the U.S. are sending a message that the U.S. has not eased restrictions on supplying chips to the Chinese Communist Party.
The U.S. Department of Commerce on April 8 added seven Chinese companies and institutions to its list of entities, including three semiconductor manufacturing companies and four national supercomputing centers. They are Tianjin Feiteng Information Technology, Shanghai Jaicheng Circuit Technology and Industry Promotion Center, Shenzhen Xinwei Microelectronics, and the national supercomputing centers in Jinan, Shenzhen, Wuxi and Zhengzhou.
Against the backdrop of a shortage of both technology and chips, some say the U.S. sanctions will force the CCP to invest more in independent research and development. But what country would use foreign components for projects involving national security, such as satellites, if it could really have the ability and technology to develop them independently?
