Musk's Flash Visit to China: Tesla Received a "Green Card" for Data Security, How Far is FSD Going to Enter China

On April 28th, at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, arrived in Beijing. However, on April 29th, Musk left China for only one day.

After a year, Tesla CEO Musk made another lightning visit to China, staying for only one day.

On April 28th, Premier Li Qiang met with Musk at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. On the same day, Tesla passed the authoritative standards and requirements for national vehicle data security.

On April 29th, Musk left China. In just one day, Musk's arrival sparked discussions and speculations about Tesla's Full Self Driving (FSD) entering China. Now that the safety "green card" is in hand, FSD's path into China is further advanced.

On April 29th, the reporter sought confirmation from Tesla regarding FSD's entry into China, and Tesla stated that there is currently no timetable for FSD's entry into China. However, Tesla's official Weibo account made two statements on April 28th, mentioning the implementation of accelerated autonomous driving technology.

In the eyes of many industry insiders, if Tesla FSD takes root in China, Tesla's profit pillar will gain a more solid growth soil, and the domestic market may usher in a new round of competition, resulting in an immeasurable technological explosion. The domestic automotive intelligent connected industry chain is about to compete with FSD.

According to Xinhua News Agency, regarding the issue of whether China will allow Tesla's fully autonomous driving technology to operate domestically after Musk's visit to China, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that we treat domestic and foreign enterprises equally and welcome them to continue deepening cooperation with China and sharing the achievements of China's economic development. We also hope that foreign enterprises will comply with Chinese laws and regulations and fulfill their safety commitments.
