More major US companies are set to join Beijing’s premier supply chain expo this summer, including its first artificial intelligence (AI) section, as business ties between the two superpowers enter a state of fragile stabilisation.
A fresh wave of leading United States enterprises, alongside prominent figures from American academia and politics, will attend the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing in June, its organiser, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said at a news conference in Beijing on Saturday.
“The business communities of China and the United States have long been close partners, a relationship built on mutual benefit and win-win cooperation,” council spokeswoman Wang Wenshuai said, calling them “the bridge and bond for exchanges and cooperation between the two nations”.
