BEIJING—Top executives from multinational companies are trickling back into China with the country’s reopening, even as U.S.-China tensions grow following the appearance of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon over the continental U.S.
Volkswagen AG’s chief executive visited China from late January to early February, the company said, while Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook and Pfizer Inc. CEO Albert Bourla are expected to visit next month, people familiar with the matter said. Ola Källenius, Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s chairman, also plans a visit to China, the company said.
