Tesla chief executive Elon Musk heaped praise on China’s economic development and infrastructure as the country’s ruling Communist Party celebrated its centenary, in an apparent bid to sooth tensions with officials and customers.

The positive remarks came five days after the US electric carmaker said it would recall all of the vehicles it had manufactured at its Shanghai factory since the beginning of 2020, amid concerns over safety.
