Elon Musk acknowledged the power of China’s industry

Elon Musk said that China is able to increase production on a scale that often exceeds the combined production capabilities of other countries. The American entrepreneur expressed this opinion in the social network “X”, noting the success of China in the production of lithium batteries and solar panels.

According to Musk, a similar situation could have developed in the space industry, if not for the activities of his company “Space-X”.

The entrepreneur called the company an exception in the world market of space launches. According to him, the mass of cargo that Space-X puts into orbit is about ten times higher than the total of all other participants in the industry. At the same time, as Musk noted, if you do not take into account the launches of his company, China already accounts for the bulk of the cargo sent into orbit.

Earlier, Musk talked about the impressions of the trip to China, including traveling on a high-speed train from Beijing to Xi'an.

In an interview with the Chinese TV channel CBC-Ti-Vi, the entrepreneur also spoke positively about President Xi Jinping, noting his achievements in the development of the country.
