Washington: CEO Roundtable with PRC Vice President Xi Jinping

USCBC, the US Chamber of Commerce, and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade co-hosted a CEO roundtable event with guests US Vice President Joe Biden and PRC Vice President Xi Jinping. The roundtable was the second dialogue between the vice presidents and business leaders from both countries, following a similar dialogue in Beijing in August 2011. Vice Presidents Xi and Biden addressed their commitment to commercial progress in US-China relations. While the dialogue reflected shared attitudes about growing investment and trade in both countries, American CEOs at the roundtable reiterated the importance of addressing commercial issues such as foreign investment, intellectual property, visa policies, as well as the need to follow global best practices in areas such as innovation policies.
