General Motors Co. Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra has made her first visit to China since the pandemic, where the US auto giant is losing ground to electric rivals Tesla Inc. and BYD Co.

Barra met with Shanghai’s leader on Wednesday, who encouraged GM to step up investments and research and development in the city, the municipal government said in a statement.
