Tesla to export made-in-China Model 3 to Europe
U.S. carmaker Tesla announced Monday that it will export made-in-China Model 3 to Europe for the first time on Tuesday.
The first batch of 7,000 sedans is expected to arrive at the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium by sea at the end of November, before being sold in European countries including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.
Tom Zhu, Vice President of Tesla Global and President of Tesla Greater China, said with the exports kicking off, Tesla China will spur domestic demand and expand the global market simultaneously in a bid to support the country establishing a "dual circulation" development pattern.
Tesla will also continuously improve production, sales, after-sales service and infrastructure in the country by honoring its China investment commitment, Zhu said.
Chen Yin, executive vice mayor of Shanghai, said at the export launch ceremony that Tesla, with the Shanghai gigafactory as its first overseas plant, is the first foreign carmaker to benefit from China's scrapping of stake ownership limits by foreign car manufacturers in the country.
The Shanghai plant had churned out more than 85,000 vehicles with an industrial output of over 21.6 billion yuan (about 3.2 billion U.S. dollars) by the end of September, with the weekly production stabilizing at 3,500 to 4,000 vehicles. Exports of vehicles and batteries by the plant are estimated to reach 450 million U.S. dollars within the year, Chen said in his speech.
Tesla delivered the first batch of made-in-China Model 3 sedans to the public earlier this year, one year after the company broke ground on its first overseas plant.

A person lays a flower in front of the monument marking the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Taiwan's recovery from Japanese occupation during a commemorative event in Taipei, southeast China's Taiwan, Oct. 25, 2020.
With victorious songs sung, flowers presented and a parade marching through Taipei's main street, people of Taiwan commemorated the 75th anniversary of the island's recovery from Japanese occupation.
The day of Oct. 25, 1945 marked the end of the 50-year Japanese occupation in Taiwan, while in the rest part of China, a prolonged war of resistance against Japan's invasion ended with victory. Across the world, the World War II concluded just a few weeks earlier with the defeat of Fascist forces.
In front of the same hall where Japan surrendered 75 years ago in Taipei, about 400 people gathered Sunday morning to pay their tribute to the monument marking the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Taiwan's recovery from Japanese occupation. 📷 Jin Liwang

The value of Goodwill, optimism, and togetherness. This is what French artist Guillaume Legros tries to convey in his painting of gigantic hands holding each other drawn on open-air green fields in Turkey's Istanbul.
As part of his project "Beyond Walls" initiated last year to create "the largest human chain" around the world, Saype selected two spots on the European and Asian parts of Istanbul and a big floating boat.
"Istanbul is the eighth stage of the project, which has so far covered seven countries and connected Europe and Asia," he told Xinhua.
The first phase of his drawings in the city was carried out at Bogazici University along the Bosphorus on the European side, and the second was painted over a green field in the Beykoz district on the Asian part.
"Now we are on an 87-meter long big boat, covered by natural green grass, which can sail between Asia and Europe," he noted.
The boat will symbolically link the chain by traversing the Bosphorus Strait from Europe to Asia, according to the artist.
"We are at a moment in history when many close themselves to the outside world, like building huge walls among people," the artist said. "But humanity can only cope with complex challenges by being together and getting united."
Therefore, with this project, he wanted to build "bridges" among individuals, societies, and cultures across different continents, promoting the value of unity.
The artist and his team will travel to at least 30 more countries to finish the chain and "to break the walls that past generations have erected, and build hand in hand the universal city of the future," he said.
Saype is known for his massive art works on grass, made with eco-friendly materials. While creating the painting in Istanbul, he used biodegradable pigments made out of charcoal, chalk, water, and milk proteins. 📷Osman Orsal

Bolivian president-elect #LuisArceCatacora (C, above) greets his supporters during a celebration of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party for the results in the general elections, in El Alto, Bolivia, on Oct. 24, 2020.
The main challenge for the new Bolivian government headed by Luis Arce Catacora from the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party lies in reviving the country's economy, economists and political experts have said.
On Friday, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal declared Luis Arce as president-elect of Bolivia and David Choquehuanca as vice president-elect, with 55.1 percent of the votes.
The MAS also obtained absolute majorities in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, although it did not achieve the two-thirds majority required to carry out constitutional reforms. 📷Mateo Romay
