#Tesla uses #ChineseCourts to #SilenceCritics & make them pay.

Tesla has won nearly 90% of its #lawsuits in China, showing how Musk has thrived in a system in which regulators, the media & the courts must all answer to the #CCP.

It's not common practice for automakers — in #China or elsewhere — to sue their customers, but Tesla has pioneered an aggressive #legal strategy & leveraged the #patronage of powerful leaders in the Chinese Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability.
