Chinese president Xi Jinping met representatives of US businesses as the country seeks more foreign investment aiming to reassure American firms amid a slowing economy. The Chinese president hosted the group of executives at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, state broadcaster CCTV reported. Xi Jinping was seen talking to the attendees who included Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, a major producer of semiconductors. The meeting follows a dinner in November where Xi Jinping met with US executives in San Francisco and even received a standing ovation.
Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of private equity giant Blackstone was also in attendance as Xi Jinping said, “Differences will always exist, because people are different, and even people from the same family are different, too. But we should seek common ground and build more consensus. This is true between nations and as well as between family members.”
Xi Jinping said that “the history of China-US relations is a history of friendly exchanges between the two peoples. People from all walks of life in both countries should have more exchanges and more cooperation.”
