Taipei, Oct. 8 (CNA) A suggestion by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk that Taiwan could be made a special administrative zone of China has provoked a backlash from local politicians across the political spectrum, with one lawmaker from the pro-independence ruling party calling on consumers to "indefinitely boycott" the automaker.Calling Musk's suggestion "absurd," Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟) called on consumers in Taiwan and other democratic countries to indefinitely boycott Tesla's products if he didn't change his narrative on Taiwan.DPP Legislator Lo Chih-cheng (羅致政) said he could see where Musk was coming from when he made that suggestion, pointing to Musk's investments and business in China.Kuomintang (KMT) legislative caucus convener Tseng Ming-chung (曾銘宗) said the KMT opposed Musk's suggestion, which was based on considerations of his own financial gains in China and therefore "not feasible."Deputy Legislative Speaker Tsai Chi-chang (蔡其昌) said both sides of the Taiwan Strait "could sit down and talk about a lot of things based on the guarantee that Taiwan's sovereignty, democratic system, freedoms, and rule of law would continue to exist.""
