SEOUL/HONG KONG (Financial Times) — China has called for “stable and constructive” ties with the U.S. in a meeting with Elon Musk that highlighted the complex relationship between Beijing and the billionaire boss of Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX.
In a statement, the Chinese foreign ministry quoted Musk, who arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for his first visit since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, as comparing U.S.-China interests to conjoined twins and as saying Tesla opposed “decoupling” of the world’s two biggest economies.
