Occasional Digest - a story for you

Good morning and welcome to the ABC Markets Blog. I’m Sue Lannin.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has visited China and met with Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang.

That’s as Beijing pledges to create a better business environment for foreign companies.

A statement from China’s foreign ministry said Mr Gang told Mr Musk that the country will unswervingly promote a high-level opening up  and strive to create a better international business environment.

The statement also said that Tesla opposes “decoupling” and is willing to expand its business in China.

The meeting comes amid tensions between the US and China over technology.

Tesla shares rose 4.1 per cent on the news.

US stocks ended mixed with investors wary about the passage of the US debt ceiling bill through Congress.
