CHINA: Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng said Thursday at a press briefing
that Tesla is working with regulators in Shanghai to set up a factory in the
city's free trade zone. He would not confirm or deny reports that China would
allow foreign companies to establish factories by themselves and not be required
to have Chinese companies as partners. Asking if U.S. officials would try to
make breakthrough during President Donald Trump's visit that would allow
American factories to avoid the requirement to have a Chinese partner, Gao said
both sides are speeding up the work process to make Trump's visit achieve "more
consensus and solid results." U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross will lead
the U.S. trade negotiating team during Trump's visit, according to Gao.
