In a post on his personal blog, Gates said he and Xi had discussed global health and development challenges such as health inequity and climate change. Gates stepped down from Microsoft's board in 2020 to focus on philanthropy in the fields of global health, education and climate change. In early 2020, Xi wrote to Gates thanking him and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for pledging assistance to China, including $5 million for its fight against COVID-19. Apart from meeting Xi, Gates gave a speech at the Global Health Drug Discovery Institute about the need to use technology to solve global health challenges during his visit. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Beijing municipal government, which founded the institute with Tsinghua University, also pledged to each provide $50 million to bolster the institute's drug discovery capacity.

BEIJING, April 19 (Reuters) - China has ordered an investigation into a fire that killed 21 people at a Beijing hospital, one of the deadliest in the capital in recent years, but many social media posts on the incident were deleted as people questioned a delay in announcing the news. Local media had reported an investigation was in progress. Social media posts about the fire circulating on WeChat for several hours were either censored or deleted, according to checks by Reuters. One post still available criticised the hospital for boasting about its fire preparedness in a February article on its official WeChat account. The cause of the fire is being investigated, according to state and local media reports, and there were no further details on injured.

BEIJING, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) sold 66,051 China-made electric vehicles in January, data published by the China Passenger Car Association showed on Friday. That was up 18% from December, when the U.S. electric car maker sold 55,796 China-made vehicles, and 10% higher versus January last year. Tesla's Shanghai plant in December cut output by about a third from November, and extended a Lunar New Year holiday period for workers in January, to cope with rising inventory. Tesla was the second best-selling electric vehicle maker in China last month after BYD Co Ltd (002594.SZ) which shipped 150,164 cars, the CPCA said.
