After delaying India trip Elon Musk visits China, meets Premier Li Qiang
Tech billionaire Elon Musk made a surprise visit to China and met Chinese Premier Li Qiang amid hopes that he can bring Tesla’s autonomous driving technology to Beijing.
According to reports, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said the country's huge market will always be open to foreign-funded enterprises.
Li was quoted as saying by CGTN that China will work hard on expanding market access and improving services to provide foreign-funded enterprises with a better business environment and stronger support, so that companies from all countries can invest in China with peace of mind.
Li said Tesla's development in China can be called a successful example of China-U.S. economic cooperation
It is hoped that the U.S. and China will meet halfway more often and promote the stable development of bilateral ties under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the Chinese premier was quoted as saying by CGTN.
Following the meeting, Musk wrote on X: "Honored to meet with Premier Li Qiang. We have known each other now for many years, since early Shanghai days."
