Tesla Inc vehicles are barred from parts of a major Chinese city as it prepares for a visit by President Xi Jinping for the start of the World University Games on Friday (July 28), according to people familiar with the matter.
Authorities in Chengdu, a city of 21 million people in southwest China’s Sichuan province, have told officials to block Teslas from some areas related to the event and Xi’s visit, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
