Elon Musk is expected to visit China this week in what would be his first trip to the country in three years, according to people familiar with the matter.
The billionaire is expected to meet senior Chinese officials and visit Tesla Inc.’s Shanghai factory, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. He will potentially meet Premier Li Qiang to discuss Tesla’s full self-driving technology, which the automaker is seeking to introduce in China, one of the people said.
Musk’s private jet was recently over the Yellow Sea, west of South Korea, according to flight tracking website ADS-B Exchange.
Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives from Shanghai’s government press office and the State Council Information Office of China also didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
