Horasis convened the 2019 Horasis China Meeting in Las Vegas, USA over 28-29th October, co-hosted by Las Vegas Sands Corp., US Chamber of Commerce and China Federation of Industrial Economics.
This Meeting attracted over 300 members of the Horasis Visions Communities to discuss the economic outlook for China, the US and world, as well as means to jointly achieve sustainable global economic growth. Just a few days prior to the Horasis China Meeting, the US and China agreed on how to proceed with their trade talks. Both countries acknowledged that continuing the trade war would not be beneficial to anyone.
Pete Ricketts, Governor, Nebraska, USA during the opening dinner supported the ideals of fair trade and flat playing fields. Nebraska is the top exporting State of beef to China. Also Governor Ricketts, a keen China observer, established a sister-state relationship with China’s Shaanxi province. Kristi Noem, Governor, South Dakota, USA proposed to let individuals, businesses and States proceed to develop new Sino-US accords. These sentiments were welcomed by Xiong Meng, Executive Vice Chairman, China Federation of Industrial Economics, China, who reiterated that China would welcome a new stability. Then new ventures could blossom for US entrepreneurs across many Chinese sectors from Fin-tech through to investing in enterprises along the hubs of the Belt and Road initiative of President Xi Jinping. Cui Tiankai, Ambassador of China to the US, mentioned that the US and China have now laid a foundation in which they can move forward. He also reiterated that stopping the trade war will benefit the US, China, and the whole world.
