Chinese President Xi Jinping met on March 27 with US business representatives, state media reported. Beijing is seeking to attract foreign investment and reassure US firms amid a slowing economy.
"On the morning of March 27, President Xi Jinping met with representatives of the U.S. business community ... at (Beijing's) Great Hall of the People," state broadcaster CCTV reported.
"Before the start of the meeting, Xi Jinping took a group photo with them," the report said.
The state media did not name who was at the meeting, which it said was also attended by academics.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal, citing its own sources, reported that a meeting was being prepared between Xi and the presidents of US business lobby groups.
The meeting also comes days after the China Development Forum in Beijing, which was attended by Apple CEO Tim Cook and other top U.S. executives. /BGNES
