HONG KONG -- U.S. President Donald Trump's return to the White House has raised questions about how much influence Elon Musk -- his largest campaign donor and the world's richest person -- might wield, especially over China policy.
Musk was one of a group of U.S. business executives who met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in Washington on Sunday, the day before Trump's inauguration. The billionaire behind Tesla has significant business interests in the world's No. 2 economy and has described himself as "kind of pro-China." He was even the first foreigner to contribute an article to a magazine affiliated with China's top internet watchdog.
