President Xi Jinping’s US Visit: The Unreported Positives – OpEd
The author highlights a Trump–Xi state dinner attended by tech and finance chiefs (Huang, Musk, Altman, Cook, Dimon, Fink, Fraser, Solomon, Yass): Trump spoke of never getting along better and a toast to “harmony, peace and success”; Xi said MAGA and China’s rejuvenation need not be zero-sum and warned against a Thucydides trap while urging joint AI risk control.
Business presence is read as a signal to protect supply chains and investment even as trade and tech disputes remain; the piece treats that as assumption, not quoted boardroom replies.
It blames “wolf warrior” Western coverage (NYT, BBC named) for framing the visit as threat and trapping policy into conflict, and wants the warmer tone to outlast this U.S. administration.
The highlight of President Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States was the state dinner in his honour. What stood out on that occasion was not only the star studded galaxy of private sector and business titans in attendance but also the fact that they, and an audience around the world, were treated to much more than the usual diplomatic rhetoric that accompanies such events.
Top American technology and financial executives attending included Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Tesla’s Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Apple’s Tim Cook, JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon, Black Rock’s Larry Fink, Citigroup’s Jane Fraser, Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon and Susquehanna International Group’s (noted TikTok investor) Jeff Yass. They listened to two unusual speeches that provide positive indicators for US-China bilateral relations as well as the emerging new world order.
