Here's What We Know

This was stated by the American billionaire himself in a conversation with the Financial Times. The head of the companies Tesla and SpaceX said nothing about his decision. In addition, neither Ilon Musk, the Ministry of Commerce of China, nor the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China did not respond to CNBC's request for comment.

At the same time, the authorities of the People's Republic of China spoke out against the deployment of Starlink in Ukraine. The Celestial Empire government considers that the SpaceX satellite link allows the military to bypass the lack of Internet access.
