AmCham China wants summit progress on tradeBloombergUS firms in China are hoping for a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) this year, a survey showed, as they look for relief from trade barriers raised during the administration of former US president Donald Trump. Another 47 percent wanted the removal of tariffs, with more than three-quarters of companies complaining that measures levied during the trade war were impacting their operations. Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and US President Joe Biden are pictured in a combination of photographs from July 3, 2019, and May 17 respectively. About 54 percent of respondents called for “regularized government-to-government communication” to rebuild relations, while 38 percent wanted a Biden-Xi summit this year. The survey suggested that companies were feeling more pain from tariffs.
