The issues with your response are:
a) You generalizing them as “the Chinese” like they are one monolithic block who all behave the same and not treating them as individuals further cements my point.
b) Your friend could have completely made that story up, or misinterpreted the situation.
Also, apparently you missed the memo on the number of Teslas sold in China. If that was such a threat, I doubt they’d be selling there. I doubt any American automaker would. Clearly, Tesla and others (e.g. Buick) haven’t been tremendously threatened.
