BEIJING, July 31 (Reuters) - China has consistently opposed

generalising the concept of national security and discriminatory

actions taken against it, its foreign ministry said on Friday in

response to a report about Tesla looking to sell its

business in the country.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Tesla

advisers have discussed possible options for a separation,

including a spin off, sale or closure of the automaker's China

business, which Elon Musk has dismissed as "fake news".
