Elon Musk Concludes China Visit as Tesla Passes Data Security Requirements

Tesla on Monday passed China’s data security requirements as CEO Elon Musk wrapped up his visit to Beijing, which included meetings with senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y vehicles were among the 76 models that were listed as passing China’s data security requirements on April 28, according to the China Association of Auto Manufacturers (CAAM).

The CAAM said that these 76 vehicle models—which are produced by BYD, Ideal, Lotus, Hezhong New Energy, Tesla, and NIO—have met the “four compliance requirements for automotive data security.”

Mr. Musk concluded his visit after meeting with senior Chinese communist regime officials, including Premier Li Qiang, to discuss the rollout of his full self-driving (FSD) software and permission to transfer data overseas.

During their meeting, Mr. Li said that Tesla’s development in China serves as “a successful example of China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation.” He added that China will continue to welcome foreign-funded firms.
