This is the first time that government contracts have incorporated Tesla electric vehicles.

The cars were included to Jiangsu province's updated list of state-purchased new energy vehicles in June.

Sun Yuanxin, a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics said that more chances would arise for businesses worldwide if China remains open to international trade.

At a meeting with joint venture representatives in May, Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Ling Ji stated that China is in favor of joint ventures participating equally in government procurement.
