Amid ongoing dialogue between Chinese and US officials, American businesses have reaffirmed their confidence in China's economic potential. On May 22, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu and US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau held a phone conversation to discuss bilateral relations and shared priorities, signaling continued diplomatic engagement.
The same day saw the Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit 2025 in Beijing, where Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, delivered a resounding message: "US companies see their future in China." Representing 800 American enterprises operating across the Chinese mainland, Hart emphasized their commitment to "deepening market presence, fostering innovation, and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation."
This dual-track development – sustained government-level communication coupled with private sector optimism – highlights the interconnected nature of US-China economic ties. Analysts note that despite geopolitical headwinds, commercial collaboration remains a stabilizing force, particularly in technology, green energy, and consumer markets where foreign expertise aligns with China's development goals.
