Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Since Monday, Tesla has been under pressure from officials in Alameda County to shut down operations of its car factory in Fremont, California, to fight the spread of the coronavirus. On Thursday, Tesla finally announced it would halt vehicle manufacturing in Fremont.
"We have decided to temporarily suspend production at our factory in Fremont, from end of day March 23, which will allow an orderly shutdown," Tesla said in a post on its website.
March 23 is next Monday—a full week after officials in seven Bay Area counties ordered non-essential businesses to close down. To make sure there was no confusion about Tesla's status, Alameda County tweeted on Tuesday that Tesla was not an essential business.
But Tesla persisted. In recent weeks, Elon Musk has been a vocal skeptic of efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus. "Danger of panic still far exceeds danger of corona," Musk tweeted on Monday.

No, you're the racist in assuming the connotation of "Chinese" harbored racist intent. It's probably because you are grossly ignorant, and a blinkered partisan.
FYI, "Chinese" is not a racial label, "Asian" or "East Asian" are. "Chinese" connotes ethnicity, though, which does not qualify for the ham-fisted, ignorant assumption (of yours) of "racism," but would qualify for the more applicable term of "bigoted." "Chinese," however, also carries a meaning of "People who are citizens of the country called 'China'." That is what I meant when I used it.
Now, it is cricket to criticize the actions of other countries, especially when actions or inactions of the governments of those countries have endangered the entire world (SEE: Nazi Germany). My assertion is that the communist government of China is stupid, and acted stupidly, and the rest of us are paying the price also. For that, they must be shunned with a good, long shunning.
Go, chew, and digest. Contemplate your own racism, and your dastardly penchant for ascribing the worst possible motives to every other human, you bigot.
