Trump Brings Surprise Guests to China Summit

Xi’s comments are “a strong statement to world companies to continue to invest in China,” said George Chen, partner and co-chair of digital practice at The Asia Group.

“I think the statement Xi made about opening up is not just for propaganda. China does need to remain attractive for foreign investments,” Chen added.

During brief on-camera remarks, Trump looked directly at China’s Xi Jinping and delivered a masterstroke about the possible deals they could do together — if China is willing to play ball.
