李强办招商大会,苹果的库克和桥水的达利欧亲自出席|彭博社

  • 中国将在北京举办为期三天的企业峰会,向世界展示中国已恢复营业。

  • 苹果公司的蒂姆-库克和辉瑞公司的艾伯特-布拉都将出席。

  • 美国公司不是最大的代表,这表明他们希望避免引起中共特别委员会不必要的注意。

  • 习近平主席的莫斯科之行也在高管们的心目中占据了重要地位。

  • 对公司来说,要驾驭中国和国外的消费者和利益相关者的期望,是越来越具有挑战性的。

  • 这可能会影响到在这个时候访问中国的决定。

  • 这次峰会是中国在经历了三年的新冠疫情孤立之后,第一次完全由本人参加的峰会。

  • 来自金融、能源、生物制药和消费品等行业的代表将出席。

  • 鉴于目前的地缘政治环境,目前还不清楚这一活动将如何被接受。

  • 文章讨论了该组织的营销材料中缺乏美国代表的问题,截至周四,只有一家美国公司出现。其他美国参与者包括桥水公司创始人Ray Dalio、Invesco Ltd.总裁Martin Flanagan和Blackstone Inc. 首席执行官Steve Schwarzman。一些美国公司则派出较低级别的高管,特斯拉公司的代表也在一旁。

  • 围绕着中国高调商业论坛的回归,反映了全球商业对中国的情绪恶化,原因是新冠动态清零导致其经济进入尾声,并扰乱了外国公司的中国业务。苹果公司的主要智能手机制造伙伴在郑州的工厂中心出现了封锁、感染和工人骚乱,导致iPhone供应出现600万台的赤字。

  • 中国美国商会主席迈克尔-哈特(Michael Hart)说,在中国的美国公司在经历了三年的Covid Zero之后已经 “筋疲力尽”。这种情绪反映了全球企业对中国的整体态度,中国在大流行期间的限制和封锁影响了中国的发展。

  • 对于疫情动态清零的统治下,监管环境变幻莫测,美国资产管理巨头Vanguard Group Inc.关闭了他们在中国的业务,波音公司和耐克公司等美国公司面临制裁和损失。中国美国商会发布报告称,中国不是美国公司的前三大投资重点。

  • 尽管有脱钩的说法,但中美之间的商品贸易总额上升到7000亿美元,主要的美国公司对中国的消费需求进行了大量的投资。外国高管们渴望深入了解中国政府在外国投资和促进私营部门发展方面的意图。

  • 会议委员会中国经济和商业中心负责人阿尔弗雷多-蒙图法尔-赫鲁认为,企业希望了解政府的计划是否真实,以及他们的具体计划是什么。

  • China is hosting a three-day corporate summit in Beijing to show the world that it is back in business.

  • Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook and Pfizer Inc.’s Albert Bourla are scheduled to attend.

  • US companies are not the biggest contingent, indicating a desire to avoid drawing unwanted attention from the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

  • President Xi Jinping’s trip to Moscow is also weighing on the minds of executives.

  • It is increasingly challenging for companies to navigate the expectations of consumers and stakeholders in China and abroad.

  • This may be weighing on decisions to visit China at this time.

  • The summit is the first to be held fully in person after China’s three years of Covid isolation.

  • Representatives from sectors such as finance, energy, biopharmaceuticals and consumer goods will attend.

  • It is unclear how the event will be received given the current geopolitical climate.

  • The article discusses the lack of American representation in the organization’s marketing material, with only one US firm featured as of Thursday. Other US participants include Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, Invesco Ltd.’s President Martin Flanagan, and Blackstone Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Schwarzman. Some American companies are sending lower-level executives instead, and Tesla Inc. is represented on the sidelines.

  • The atmosphere around the return of China’s high-profile business forums reflects the deterioration of global business sentiment towards the country due to the Covid Zero experiment, which caused its economy to enter a tailspin and disrupted foreign companies’ Chinese operations. Apple’s main smartphone-making partner saw lockdowns, infection and worker riots at its factory hub in Zhengzhou, causing a 6 million unit deficit in iPhone supply.

  • Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said US companies in China are “exhausted” after three years of Covid Zero. This sentiment reflects the overall attitude of global businesses towards China, which has been affected by the country’s restrictions and lockdowns during the pandemic.

  • Covid Zero’s reign saw an unpredictable regulatory environment with a US asset management giant, Vanguard Group Inc., shutting down their business in China and US companies such as Boeing Co. and Nike Inc. facing sanctions and losses. The American Chamber of Commerce in China released a report stating that China is not a top three investment priority for US firms.

  • Despite talk of decoupling, total merchandise trade between China and the US rose to $700 billion and major American companies are heavily invested in Chinese consumer demand.
