On May 30th, the CCPIT held its regular press conference for May. CCPIT spokesperson Zhao Ping attended the conference, introduced relevant information, and answered questions from the media. In response to a question, Zhao Ping mentioned that Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently visited China. Vice Premier of the State Council, He Lifeng, met with Dimon and emphasized the welcoming of continued deepening cooperation with American enterprises, including JPMorgan Chase, for mutual benefit. Dimon praised the results of the US-China economic and trade talks and expressed willingness to further penetrate the Chinese capital market to better serve multinational companies looking to enter China and Chinese companies expanding overseas. Dimon also met with the Chairman of CCPIT, REN Hongbin, expressing optimism about China's economic development prospects and willingness to strengthen cooperation with Chinese partners. Coincidentally, at the 2025 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit held at the same time, American business leaders actively participated and shared Dimon's positive attitude. Zhao Ping explained that the President of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, Tim Stratford, stated that American companies will continue to invest in China and participate in its economic growth and innovation. Zhang Xiaoping, Chief Representative of the American Soybean Export Association in Greater China, emphasized the importance of working hand in hand with China to meet the desires of all people for a better life. Manuel Sanchez, Director of the American Grains Association in China, highlighted the significance of the Chinese market and expressed the association's hope for progress together with the Chinese market. Zhao Ping emphasized that the foundation of US-China relations lies in the people-to-people connections. The willingness of the business sectors on both sides to cooperate is clear and resolute. The frequent visits of American business leaders to China are a clear indication that the "tariff policy" is unpopular, and that open cooperation and mutual benefit should be the main theme of US-China economic and trade relations.
