Скачать или смотреть Tesla FSD's Approval in China: A Trade War Bargaining Chip?

...Source: https://electrek.co/2025/02/17/tesla-... Transcript: According to Electrek, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving rollout in China is now tangled up in the ongoing US-China trade tensions. Chinese regulators have yet to approve Tesla’s self-driving system, and a new report from the Financial Times suggests that China might be using this as a bargaining tool against US trade policies.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously said that restrictions on data transfers between the US and China have complicated FSD’s approval process. While he recently claimed that Tesla aims to bring Full Self-Driving to China in early 2025, there’s now no clear timeline for regulatory approval. Meanwhile, Tesla’s key rival, BYD, has introduced its own self-driving features, intensifying competition.

The Financial Times reports that unless the US eases tariffs on Chinese goods, China is unlikely to greenlight Tesla’s FSD. Since China remains Tesla’s strongest market amid slowing sales elsewhere, this delay could impact Tesla’s business significantly. Some analysts believe this could even push Musk—who has close ties to Trump—to lobby for China in trade negotiations.
