US business leaders upbeat on prospects

Foreign minister urges delegation to help foster correct perception of China

A delegation from the board of directors of the US-China Business Council became the first United States business delegation to visit China following the conclusion last week of the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In a meeting with the delegation on Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said its members "can be the first to experience the fresh developments of China's further comprehensive deepening of reform, so it can be said that they have come at the right time".

Members of the delegation include FedEx President and CEO Raj Subramaniam, United Family Healthcare founder Roberta Lipson, Boeing Global President Brendan Nelson, and Educational Testing Service CEO Amit Sevak.
