Some US executives in Beijing for a business summit are rearranging their schedules after receiving a last-minute invitation to meet with a top Chinese leader, widely believed to be President Xi Jinping, indicating a potential shift in US-China relations and business opportunities.
Apple CEO Tim Cook is attending a state-sponsored "China business summit" in person, along with Pfizer's CEO Albert Bourla, marking the first time the event has been held in person since 2019. The participant list is light on US companies this year, with only a few US executives attending, including Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio and Invesco president Martin Flanagan. Cook also visited the Apple Sanlitun retail store and partook in a "Creative Camp" session as part of Apple's "Today at Apple" retail initiative. The visit comes as Apple is actively looking to diversify its supply chain beyond China.
