AFTER discussing Ukraine with Russia's foreign minister in Beijing and flying to a meeting on Iran's nuclear programme, US Secretary of State John Kerry took time to meet some of China's biggest investors in the US.
Among the executives at the meeting here on Saturday was Lenovo chief executive officer Yang Yuanqing, who last month closed US$5 billion in asset purchases from US companies. A photograph of the group that Mr Yang posted to his Twitter account also featured China Petrochemical Corp chairman Fu Chengyu, Dalian Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin and Xiaomi Corp chief executive officer Lei Jun.
