@Model 3 unfortunately not. An EU driving licence is not valid in China
While your statement is valid, your conclusion is not.
One can obtain a Chinese driving license without living in China and register your foreign licensed car without being in China also. I know one person who did it when he drove his car Paris to Singapore. The process varies by region, I’m told but Shanghai is allegedly preferred because they are most restrictive, not so for BEV’s.
I do not know the process and I know it is not practical, but epoch-making trips like that are never ‘practical’ anyway. On several different foraa there are discussions from people who have made such trips. A few times a year there is local coverage in Rio de Janeiro about hardy souls who are driving around the world.
The legal part is cumbersome, but doable. The BEV part is, it seems, doable too. The problems from a Tesla perspective are having all the needed adapters, organizing charging in remote areas (everywhere there are welding shops, hospitals/clinics or other facilities with electricity. The planning will be critical, but certainly it can be done!
I dream of two Tesla trips: Deadhorse, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and Paris to Singapore.
Note: you should not necessarily trust my judgement. I drove Paris-Tehran, Bangkok-Vientiane, Delhi-Kathmandu all more than 40;years ago. Adventures and exotic problems will happen. It does help to have multiple citizenship’s and driving licenses plus a vehicle registered originally in a fairly non-polemic jurisdiction. My travel companion and I Paris-Tehran had four nationalities between us, and our car was registered in two countries. One needs logistics and political planning for such voyages.
