10.CRITICAL THINKING:

Out of the fields of mud, a giant grew that giant is Gigafactory 3, and this is where the term "Tesla speed" was coined. In just under 15 months, Tesla China's team transformed this muddy field into one of the world's most advanced auto manufacturing factories. The Giga Shanghai could eventually produce 1 million electric vehicles a year. This makes sense in light of Tesla's goal to export vehicles made at Giga Shanghai to other markets in both Europe and Asia.Taipei Timesreported that Tesla is looking to realize its plan to reduce shipping costs and manufacture vehicles closer to customers with this move. Tesla will be the first American company in China to make products there and export to Asian and European markets. That's unheard of.

Tesla landed its own factory in a country that has never let a foreign company own its own factory there before in the middle of a trade war with that company's country.Yes, Elon Musk is right this is a big deal.

Questions; Based on the reading above, the most likely factors influencing Tesla's decision to open a factory in Shanghai were all of the following EXCEPT:

a.The threat of a trade embargo from the United States.

b.China's willingness to be open to American companies such as Tesla.

c.China's need to feed its growing middle class with climate friendly vehicles.

d.Access to the rest of Asia's market through Regional Trade Alliances

11.CRITICAL THINKING:

The Walt Disney Company unveiled the designs and attractions at the mega-resort Shanghai Disneyland, its first theme park in mainland China. The company said it was completing work on a 1.5-square-mile area that will house the Shanghai Disney Resort, with six themed sections, including one devoted to the hit "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series, as well as venues for live entertainment, a Broadway-style theater, two hotels and the "tallest, largest and most interactive castle at any Disney theme park." Disney's goal is to create an engine that will drive demand in China for a wide range of Disney products: toys, clothes, furnishings, movie downloads and video games.

But it also marks the latest example of Chinese authorities stepping up to help the park, which Disney is building with the help of a group of companies controlled by the government of the city of Shanghai. The group, called Shanghai Shendi, owns 57% of Shanghai Disney Resort, with Disney holding the rest. Its major strategy is to keep a close relationship with local government officials and to cry out loudly and often to get their ear," Mr. You said. Disney owns about 43 percent of Shanghai Disneyland, with the rest held by Shanghai Shendi Group, a government-controlled entity. Disney retains operational control, however, holding a 70 percent stake in Shanghai Disney Resort, the management company created with Shendi to run the resort.
