Tesla is incompatible with socialism. Also this usually just means the government wants the company to tow the party line.

You have to play by China’s rules if you want to do business there as a westerner. Apple does basically whatever the Chinese government asks for — as a result they’re the top selling phone in that country, even beating out Chinese made phones. For a country that’s been so nationalized and isolated that’s a huge deal.

What does China have to do with socialism?

Do you think North Korea is a democracy too because their government's name is "Democratic Republic of North Korea"?

In fact most countries with names starting with "Democratic" or "People's" are not democratic at all..a true democratic country does not need to advertise it in its name.

Same goes for human titles like "Honorable" for instance.
