Tesla Inc has had a terrible week in China, but sentiment against the U.S. electric car company in its second-biggest market had been building as it struggled to keep pace with rapid growth. The pile-on by media and scolding by regulators show how precarious China can be for big foreign brands, and how a company's handling of an incident can turn into a crisis if the country's tightly-controlled news outlets turn against it. Tesla's defiance of industry convention, embodied by founder Elon Musk and a corporate culture that rarely admits mistakes, has won fans in the United States, but has backfired in China.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — The Czech Republic on Thursday ordered more Russian diplomats to leave the country, further escalating a fierce tug-of-war between the two nations over the alleged involvement of Russian spies in a massive ammunition depot explosion in 2014. Foreign Minister Jakub Kulhanek said Russia won't be allowed to have more diplomats in Prague than the Czechs currently have at their embassy in Moscow. All others have to leave by the end of May, he said. The announcement came after Russia expelled 20 Czech diplomats on Sunday in retaliation for the Czech government’s expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats it identified as spies from the GRU and the SVR, Russia’s military and foreign intelligence services. The Czech government protested what they called Russia’s “inappropriate reaction,” saying it paralyzed the Czech Embassy in Moscow. Kulhanek had given the Russian government a Thursday noon deadline to allow the return of the 20 Czech diplomats. He warned that if the demand was not met, he would reduce the staff of the Russian Embassy in Prague to equal the number of staff members remaining at the Czech Embassy. The minister said Russia did not give an official response. The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Czech ambassador to the come to the ministry on Thursday, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. “This kind of tone is unacceptable while talking to Russia,” Zakharova said.

Rumors surrounding Toyota's upcoming Corolla-based hot hatch are getting louder on a monthly basis. As we previously reported, most sources agree the GR Corolla — which will be positioned above the rally-bred GR Yaris in Toyota's hot hatch pecking order — will eschew hybrid technology and instead receive its smaller sibling's power-dense three-cylinder engine. It will be tuned to develop at least 300 horsepower, according to Japanese publication CarSensor, an increase of more than 32 horses over the GR Yaris.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising Canada will slash its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent within the next decade. The cut applies to 2005 emission levels. The new target is higher than the 36 per cent reduction the government says it can achieve under existing measures by 2030, and the 30 per cent goal Canada initially agreed to under the Paris Agreement. Trudeau announced the higher target during a virtual climate summit of world leaders convened by United States President Joe Biden, who pledged to cut his country's emissions by 50 to 52 per cent by 2030. "If major economies in the room were to follow Canada's lead and adopt a rising price on pollution and commit to phase out coal plants, we would accelerate our global path for a safe, prosperous net-zero future," Trudeau said in a short address. Canada's new target falls short of the minimum 50- 60 per cent reduction climate groups and opposition parties said was needed to limit global warming to 1.5 C degrees. “After more than five years in office, the Trudeau government is still incapable of proposing a target as ambitious as that of Joe Biden, who took office just three months ago," Keith Stewart, a senior energy strategist with Greenpeace Canada said in a statement Thursday. He added there was no commitment to transition away from fossil fuels as Canada remains heavily tied to the oil and gas industry. Ahead of the summit, seven environmental groups released a report with modelling that said to limit global warming to 1.5 C degrees compared to pre-industrial levels, Canada should double the 30 per cent commitment it signed in the Paris Agreement. Clean Prosperity, a climate policy organization, has said it could see Canada adopt a new target of between 40 to 50 per cent in recognition of the economic challenges around a clean energy transition and people employed in the fossil fuel sector. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh expressed concerns about the Liberals keeping their climate promises on Wednesday. "I am concerned that the Liberals will set a target and not meet it, and that's why we've been saying we need better accountability," Singh said. In a letter to Liberal Environment and Climate Change Minster Jonathan Wilkinson, Singh called for the government to adopt a 50 per cent goal, while the Greens say it should be 60. Conservative environment critic Dan Albas touted his own party's new climate plan, which for the first time contains a consumer carbon price. "The Liberal government has repeatedly announced new climate targets in the past six months without showing how they will actually reach them," Albas said in a statement. "Announcing targets is easy; showing how they will reach them is what matters." The summit comes as parliamentarians debate Bill C-12 which, if passed, would mean the federal environment minister has to set rolling, five-year targets for cutting carbon emissions starting in 2030 and ending in 2050. Before Thursday's event, Wilkinson penned a letter to federal party leaders asking them to say what they want Canada's new emissions target to be, and underscoring the need for co-operation on "raising our ambition." "Time is now running out," read the letter obtained by The Canadian Press. "New evidence continues to mount about an accelerating climate crisis, and the transition to a low-carbon economy has become a global sprint as countries compete to attract clean-growth investments and create the good middle class jobs of the 21st century."

The provincial government has taken the first steps toward renaming a central Newfoundland lake Wantaqo'ti Qospem, which means "peaceful lake" in Mi'kmaw. A motion was introduced in the House of Assembly on Wednesday to rename Red Indian Lake, near Buchans. The move comes after consultations with Indigenous leaders throughout the province, according to Premier Andrew Furey. "I think [the name is] not reflective of where we should be in society right now, and it's an important symbol, albeit a symbol, in the path of reconciliation," Furey told reporters Wednesday afternoon. Chief Mi'sel Joe of the Miawpukek First Nation picked the new name, he said. The renaming comes ahead of plans to return the remains of a Beothuk couple to central Newfoundland. The remains of Nonosabasut and Demasduit have been held at The Rooms in St. John's since being returned to the province in March 2020, after spending almost 200 years in Scotland. Both Nonosabasut and Demasduit were buried by the lake, but their remains were taken by a Scottish explorer. The plan to return their remains to that land is still being discussed with Indigenous leaders, Furey said, with the lake renaming happening now so as not to hold up that work. "I think it would be inappropriate for our society to going down that path to placing remains there in an appropriate way when it was still called Red Indian Lake," he said. Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation Minister Lisa Dempster called Wednesday "a proud day," and said it marks a step toward re-examining similar names across the province. "Part of my mandate letter was to look at symbolism and monuments around the province, so that those people who have been here before we have, that they see themselves in our rich history," Dempster said. Furey's predecessor, Dwight Ball, before leaving office, promised to review colonial monuments and also ditched "Discovery Day" as the name of the June holiday, to be renaming after Indigenous consultations. Furey said the lake's renaming continues that work, and goes beyond simply changing a name, "not just for change itself, but for education to the public on our Indigenous histories, and the fact that this is a part of changing some of the systemic issues that exist." Dempster said she was buoyed by positive dialogue between provincial government politicians and Indigenous leaders, about the lake name change "This is, I believe, just the beginning," she said.
