Return of investors
This announcement confirms the return of foreign investors to China, which has abandoned its so-called “zero Covid” health policy and reopened its borders this year. Recently, the co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, was received in Beijing by Chinese President Xi Jinping, on the occasion of a visit intended to support China’s efforts in medical research. Several other behemoths of the American economy, including Tesla boss Elon Musk, who came in May, have also visited China recently.
The announcement of this new investment comes as Janet Yellen, the United States Treasury Secretary, is expected in China from Thursday to Sunday, to try to appease the damaged relations between the two largest world economies.
