PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Felipe CalderÃ³n is Positive . In one of Patâs favorite interviews   Felipe CalderÃ³n  lectures Americans on how terrible states like Arizona are for cracking down on illegal immigration.
Several years ago   CalderÃ³n  sat down with Wolf Blitzer to discuss illegal immigration in his country and the U.S.âs âmistreatmentâ of illegal immigrants  and the most poignant point of all made by  CalderÃ³n  was when Blitzer asked  âIf somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico  they can go get a job? They can work?â
âIf somebody do that  without permissions  we send back them â said  CalderÃ³n .
 He  went on to share documentation is required by those entering into Mexico including some sort of assurance they arenât criminals.
What  CalderÃ³n  is saying here is the U.S. should allow everyone into this country and just let them be. âThat is just mindnumbing â said Pat. âAnd no awareness that thereâs any problem with it   he âs not even embarrassed to say it.â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tesla is Neutral . On October 22   Tesla  announced a landmark agreement to manufacture cars in China  building capacity to produce locally and boost sales in the worldâs largest market for electric vehicles.
The agreement is a landmark deal in several respects. China has granted  Tesla  more autonomy than other foreign producers.  Tesla  is the first major foreign automaker to establish local operations without a 50:50 local joint venture partner. This is a key concession as  it  allows  Tesla  tighter control over both  its  intellectual property and vertically-integrated production process.  Tesla  will also benefit by reducing production costs for cars sold in China and  though details were not disclosed  may also receive tax breaks and subsidies akin to those enjoyed by Chinese producers.
 Attracting Tesla  is a symbolic win for China. China has clear ambitions to lead the world in electric vehicles in a broader effort to build a cleaner  environmentally-conscious society. The timing of this announcement during Chinaâs critical 19th Congress reinforces the governmentâs broader objectives.
Yet  a closer look suggests that  Tesla  needs China more than China needs  Tesla . As the chart from IHS Markit: Light Vehicle Forecast below shows  China is an essential market for leading global automakers. China surpassed the United States in 2009 as the largest car market  and car sales in Western markets are forecast to decline  while emerging markets will drive global growth.
With its recent shift in environmental priorities  China is also becoming a major player in electric vehicles. In 2016  China accounted for 45% of all the newly registered electric vehicles worldwide with 336 000 in China vs. 160 000 in the United States. China is also building an EV charging infrastructure that primes the market for a high-end producer such as  Tesla . In 2016  China had a 44% global share of publicly available EV charging outlets  including 82% of fast-charging outlets. Demand for electric vehicles has grown faster in China than in any other global market with the share of EV purchases increasing 3.6x from 2014 to 2016. With EV purchases accounting for just 1.37% of the total car market  the Chinese EV market seems poised for further growth.
Low end EV's dominate Tesla
Despite seemingly favorable market conditions   Tesla  has had little success in China to date. Subsidies have driven electric vehicle demand  with the Chinese government paying up to 50% of the purchase price of domestically-produced EV cars. Lower-end electric vehicles have dominated  and  Tesla   which is subject to 25% import taxes  has largely been priced out of the market. In 2016   Tesla  had just a 3% share of the electric vehicle market in China.
 Tesla âs lackluster performance in China is a striking contrast to other global automakers. As in the West  cars are a status symbol in China  and consumers prefer prestigious global brands. Foreign cars claim a 60% market share in China  with foreign brands claiming seven of the top eight spots for cars sold in 2016. Premium brands have done particularly well in China.
Audi  BMW  Mercedes and Porsche all sell between a quarter to a third of their total global sales in China -- a 10% increase on average in just the past five years. In addition  Volkswagen now sells half of its global volume in China. The experiences of other foreign car brands suggest that  Tesla  should fare well in China if  it  can reduce production costs and vehicle pricing in line with the local market.
It is within this context that  Tesla  needs China more than China needs  Tesla . Chinaâs electric vehicle market will grow with or without  Tesla . But Teslaâs deal with the Shanghai government is both timely and essential. As the electric vehicle market takes off in China   Tesla  must do well in this vital market to maintain global leadership. Building volume in China is required to reduce production costs and pricing in the global as well as local market. Ultimately  as we are seeing in other industries   Tesla  may find that technology talent in China will also prove vital to maintain  its  position as a leading innovator globally.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Fernando Solorzano is Neutral . Fernando Solorzano   head of Panamaâs Merchant Marine  told Reuters there was no initial sign that the stricken ship was in breach of any security protocols.  He  added  though  that investigations could take months or even years to conclude.
âIt had all the valid technical certificates on board and the financial guarantees required under international agreements â  Solorzano  said in an interview late on Thursday.
An international team of experts from China  Iran  Hong Kong and the crewâs home countries would be analyzing the voyage data recorder  a device that monitors the vesselâs progress  to determine the cause of the collision   he  added.
 Solorzano  said all vessels sailing under the flag had to comply with strict requirements.  He  conceded the event could adversely affect the image of the registry because it is known for having a low rate of incidents.

SOLUTION:
yes
