Jan. 17 — Wang Jianlin, China’s wealthiest man, said his Wanda Group
plans to invest USD5 billion to USD10 billion in overseas markets each
year, with the US his top priority.
“Wang said his company would not be affected by the tension between
the two sides [China and the US] because Trump would not block money
going into the United States,” Reuters reported after speaking with Wang
on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Tension between the world’s two largest economies has been heightened
in recent weeks. During his election campaign and in Twitter posts
since, Donald Trump has sounded like a trade protectionist, pledging to
restart talks with China if he won the vote and even threatening to levy
a 45 percent tariff on Chinese-made goods.
Last week, China’s second-richest man, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s
Jack Ma met with the US president-elect in New York to discuss how the
world’s biggest e-commerce company can create one million new jobs in
the US over the next five years. Trump said he had a “great meeting”
with Ma.
Trump is open to talks with China about trade, Ma said after their 40-minute meeting.
“If I can lobby I’m willing, but I’m not capable of lobbying both,” Wanda’s Wang is quoted as saying by Reuters.
