China’s president pledges to open doors to U.S. businesses
- 9 years ago
Chinese President Xi Jinping spent Wednesday shoring up his country's shaky relations with major U.S. companies.
He promised better business opportunities while meeting with 30 chief executives - including leaders from Apple, Microsoft, Disney and General Motors - then seemingly delivered when Boeing announced a massive order from China.
Xi used the business summit to call for further easing of restrictions on U.S. corporations and to tout the massive potential of the Chinese market.
Xi offered his support for a proposed investment treaty between the two nations, which supporters say would offer clearer rules for foreign investment.
He said the treaty would lead to more transparent markets.
