The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) held a routine press conference on May 30th. CCPIT spokesperson Zhao Ping attended, introduced relevant information, and answered questions from the media. A reporter asked: Last week, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, visited China and expressed willingness to further deepen cooperation in the Chinese capital market. What is CCPIT's comment on this? Zhao Ping pointed out that Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently visited China. Vice Premier of the State Council, He Lifeng met with Dimon, emphasizing the welcome for American companies, including JPMorgan Chase, to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with China. Dimon positively evaluated the outcomes of the US-China economic and trade talks, expressing willingness to continue to deepen involvement in the Chinese capital market to better serve multinational companies entering China and Chinese companies expanding overseas. Dimon also expressed optimism about the future of China's economic development and willingness to strengthen cooperation with Chinese partners during a meeting with CCPIT Chairman, Gao Hongbin. Zhao Ping stated that coincidentally, at the same time, during the 2025 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit, American business leaders actively participated, echoing Dimon's sentiments. Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce, James Zimmerman, stated that American companies will continue to invest in China and participate in its economic growth and innovation. Zhang Xiaoping, Chief Representative of the Greater China Region at the American Soybean Association, emphasized the importance of working together with China to fulfill the aspirations of the Chinese people for a better life. Manuel Sanchez, Director of the China Region for the American Grain Association, noted that China is a crucial market, and the American Grain Association hopes to progress together with the Chinese market. Zhao Ping emphasized the foundation of U.S.-China relations lies in the people. The willingness for cooperation from both sides in the business sector is clear and resolute. The extensive visits by American business representatives to China are a vote of confidence, showing that "tariff policies" are unpopular and that open cooperation and mutual benefit should be the main theme of U.S.-China economic and trade relations. Going forward, we are willing to use the substantial progress made in U.S.-China economic and trade talks as an opportunity to create more platforms for communication and exchange between Chinese and American as well as global business communities, especially through the successful organization of the 3rd Chain Expo to promote international cooperation in industrial and supply chains.
