Musk wants to meet with Chinese officials, according to Reuters

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made plans to visit China in the coming weeks and hopes to meet with the country’s new premier, Li Qiang. The billionaire’s last trip to the country was in 2020, during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Musk is looking to travel to China “as early as April,” though the exact timing will depend on Li’s schedule. He has met with Li previously at the 2019 opening of Tesla’s ‘gigafactory’ in Shanghai, and the two later held a meeting online. Li took over as the eighth premier of the State Council of China earlier this month, after Xi Jinping began his third term as president.

The most important details in this text are that US President Joe Biden has said that Musk's "cooperation and technical relationships" with foreign powers are "worthy of being looked at," and that the White House has launched a "national security review" of Musk's overseas business dealings. Despite Musk's growing financial ties with China, Beijing itself has voiced concerns about some of his ventures, with military researchers calling to develop a way to "destroy" SpaceX's Starlink satellite network should it become necessary. Tesla's electric cars have also been banned from Chinese military facilities due to the cameras installed on the vehicles, a directive imposed soon after a contentious meeting between US and Chinese officials in Alaska in 2021.
