Tesla is literally the largest selling EV maker in China.

And if CCP simply starts attacking foreign auto-maker based on pretences based on pretences. Then the US have a significant interest in paying back China auto and battery makers in equal measure. And European car makers and companies also have to seriously ask them-selves when its gone happen to them.

The deals about how the car market is set up, is being made between countries and are part of international agreements.

That's true for the Model 3 for the first half of 2020 only, they were a long way behind in 2019 and were outsold by the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV in the second half of 2020. Most of their competitors sell multiple models as well meaning that in some of those months they sold more EVs than Tesla overall.

The Model 3 smashed it for a few months last year, but they're not the largest selling EV maker in China.

The Hongguang Mini is basically a better bicycle.

In terms of revenue generated overall Tesla easily beats everybody else. And Tesla just added the Model Y and they will likely be 1&2 on the market.

Of course only since 2020 as that is when the factory opened.
