Xi Jinping has told American chief executives travelling with Donald Trump that China’s door to business “will only open wider and wider” as the leaders of the world’s two biggest economies meet in Beijing.
Xi’s comments on Thursday came after the US president individually introduced a group of 17 business leaders — including Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and head of Tesla and SpaceX, Jensen Huang, chief of chip designer Nvidia, and Apple CEO Tim Cook — to his Chinese counterpart.
“China welcomes stronger mutually beneficial co-operation with the United States, and believes that US companies will have even broader prospects in China,” Xi said, according to state news agency Xinhua.
