CHINA-SECURITY: SECURITY MEASURES CONNECTED TO 20TH PARTY CONGRESS FOR CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING PROHIBIT TESLA VEHICLES IN PROXIMITY
|
Reuters reported that Tesla vehicles will not be allowed in Beidaihe for two months starting
July 1, due to the expected presence of Xi Jinping and other senior officials including veteran
leaders in the area in August. This report appears to confirm the rumours about Tesla vehicles
being banned near Xi Jinping during his recent Sichuan tour.
(Comment: The PRC security services obviously think 'connected cars' have the potential for
surveillance/transmission of data. This might impact the export of PRC-made Tesla cars.)
