For $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$vs China tech stocks,  personally I would prefer buying something that I understand. So my preference would be Tesla.

China Tech stocks may seem very cheap now after the big drop on price. However, I'll not buy them based on 2 reasons.

Firstly, I don't use those services and products and news generally do not seem so much focused on stocks from China. Hence, I don't really have the experience and well understanding of those China tech companies.

Secondly, China has not openly announced in not supporting Russia. There is weak confidence in China's stocks due to this uncertainty and hence they may drop further. If China were to announce or to be found supporting Russia, the US listed China ADRs could be entirely banned from trading on the US markets. Even if still trading in the HK stock exchange, US-based brokers may not allow trades in HK stock exchange.

Although I believe that those well established China Tech giants will eventually pull through with their share prices going back up again, I rather not take this chance and avoid all the possible hassles.

I don't drive a Tesla but I've been reading up quite a lot on Tesla, so I'm more comfortable with investing in Tesla and currently vested. 

However, I am not bullish on Tesla anytime soon. Given the rising inflation, more rate hikes, a lot of raw material shortages and likely increase in prices, I feel that Tesla will either be slightly bearish or stagnant at best. There are many raw materials crucial to Tesla, such as nickel and steel. And Russia is among the largest exporter of such raw materials. Hence, my guess is that Tesla may only start getting bullish towards the end of the year. 

In the meantime, I aim to buy Tesla when it dips and hold them for long. May also consider shorting or selling and then buying back during these dips.

    the other problem with chinese stocks is that the political risk is inconsistent af. one min the govt is all in to grow their tech industry, nxt minute they want to reign them in.

    If this is the case, what you said has a certain truth. For me, I prefer to diversify into these companies because they are excellent.

    Invest cautiously in Chinese concept stocks before the situation is clear.

    A lot of uncertainty with chinese stocks, such as delisting and now the worry about the relationship that they have with russia. Definitely will be detrimental if news were to reveal that.
