WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two U.S. House lawmakers who head subcommittees on oversight and trade criticized Tesla’s recent expansion in Xinjiang China.
“Your misguided expansion into the Xinjiang Uyghur
Autonomous Region sets a poor example and further empowers the (Chinese government),” said Democrats Bill Pascrell and Earl Blumenauer in a letter to Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk.
Tesla announced recently it opened a showroom in Xinjiang, the latest foreign firm caught up in tensions related to the far-western Chinese region where detention camps have drawn heavy criticism.
