JP Morgan CEO "Will Stay in China Through Good Times and Bad"
Daimon Visits China for the First Time in 4 Years to Attend Annual Event
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, who visited China for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, expressed his commitment to focusing on business in China despite the worst-ever US-China relations.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV on the 31st during JP Morgan's annual Global China Summit held in Shanghai, Dimon said, "I will be in China whether times are good or bad." He added, "The situation regarding US-China relations is much more complicated. Trade will decrease over time," but predicted, "Decoupling will not happen, and the world will continue moving forward."
At the event, Dimon emphasized the need for substantive communication between US and Chinese government officials and called for it. He viewed the US-China security and trade conflicts as solvable, stating, "Just sitting silently across the Pacific and shouting will not resolve the situation."
His remarks came amid the worst US-China relations in decades, during his first visit to mainland China since 2019. Dimon met with Chen Jining, Shanghai Party Secretary and member of the Central Political Bureau. At the meeting, Chen expressed hope that "JP Morgan will help attract more international financial institutions and provide insights for Shanghai's development."
The previous day, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, also visited China and met with three current Chinese ministers over two days until that day. Musk's visit to China was his first in three years, and he appeared to request support from Chinese authorities for expanding production capacity at Tesla's Shanghai factory and introducing autonomous driving features.
