I wonder if Elon Musk actually went to China last week to license that technology.

They play by a different rule book. Their cars aren’t as safe as cars constructed to US standards. Chinese drives have increased risk of fires and deaths from crashes. Significant upgrades that require additional weight, time and money hamper our system for the better? I willing to wager litigation against Chinese makers in China by Chinese citizens isn’t nearly as easy as our hamstrung legal system here in the US.
