U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping
Chinese President Xi Jinping warmly welcomed a delegation of U.S. CEOs on Thursday, the first day of President Trump’s visit to China.
The business leaders attended the arrival ceremony and joined part of the bilateral meeting at the Great Hall of the People, where Trump introduced them to Xi one by one, according to Chinese state-owned media.
Xi reportedly responded to US desires to do more business in China by saying the companies could be “deeply involved in China’s reform and opening up” and that “China’s door will only open wider.”
The outreach received a positive reaction from the CEOs with Tesla’s Elon Musk, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and Apple’s Tim Cook all spotted by reporters leaving in good spirits.
“It was awesome,” Musk said when asked how his talks with Xi went.
“I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to ‘open up’ China so that these brilliant people can work their magic,” Trump posted to social media en route to China.
Elon Musk told reporters after the meeting that it had been “wonderful” and said “many good things” had been achieved, with Nvidia’s Huang adding that “Mr. Xi and President Trump were incredible.”
Tim Cook simply gave a peace sign and a thumbs-up.
