Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US business leaders in Beijing on Thursday, striking a conciliatory tone amid rising tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Xi told the executives that China’s economy will remain open and that the country will continue to create a market-oriented and law-based business environment. He also called for more cooperation and less decoupling between the US and China. The meeting came as relations between the two countries have deteriorated over issues like Taiwan, technology, and human rights. Despite the tensions, Xi said China will continue to open up and provide opportunities for foreign businesses. He also urged the US business community to play a positive role in promoting healthy China-US relations. The meeting was attended by executives from companies like Microsoft, Tesla, Pfizer, and Bain Capital.
