Chinese web users lambast Elon Musk after Beijing said its space station took evasive action to avoid hitting two of his SpaceX satellites

"Prepare to boycott Tesla," said another, echoing a common response in China to foreign brands perceived to be acting contrary to Beijing's national interests."Why don't we just do what they do?" one wrote.Although Musk is widely admired in China, the reputation of Tesla – which sells tens of thousands of vehicles in the country each month – has faltered this year following a spate of crashes, scandals and data storage concerns.

"The manoeuvre strategy was unknown and orbital errors were hard to be assessed", Beijing said of the satellite involved in the October incident, adding that it took action to "ensure the safety and lives of in-orbit astronauts". Its core module entered orbit earlier this year, with the station expected to be fully operational by 2022.

Whoever wrote the dialogue in that movie should be embarrassed. It’s bad by even Netflix standards. Tried watching it this morning. Stopped halfway through. The writing ruins the talent. 1thing is clear. That’s an unwatchable movie. I tried. Literally just found myself reading Yahoo news on myphone as it played in the background, a good comparison,The Core, lame sci fi flick, must drill to Earths core&restart it withnukes of course,just like w/asteroids or aliens
