Chinese ambassador thanks Musk for proposal on Taiwan

(Reuters) - China's ambassador to the United States has thanked billionaire Elon Musk for proposing a special administration zone for Taiwan but stressed Beijing's call for "peaceful reunification and 'one country, two systems'" for the island.

Days after floating a possible deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine that drew condemnation in Ukraine, Musk suggested that tensions between China and Taiwan could be resolved by handing over some control of Taiwan to Beijing.

"My recommendation. . .  would be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably won't make everyone happy," Musk told the Financial Times in an interview published on Friday.

Musk was responding to a question about China, where his Tesla electric car company operates a large factory.

Musk needs to shut the fuck up.

I wish he'd just GTFO. Take his business out of this country and see what it's like to operate elsewhere, without all of the benefits of our legal system, highly skilled and highly educated workforce, and financial system.

That would make Taiwan jealous, and it would want to invade China to cut itself a part of China's money pie. Of course, China could control local matters, but Taiwan would manage large-scale policies for the two separate entities.

Not the extreme measure but what he is doing is seriously, potentially, harmful and he apparently is unaware or simple doesn't care that such matters have consequences. At the very least he needs to have his ego cut down to size.
