Xi said that business is business, and economic and trade issues between China and the US should not be politicized.

He said that China takes seriously the wishes of the US business community to travel to China more easily, and has agreed to upgrade fast-track arrangements.

The president also said that the US should stop abusing or overstretching the concept of national security to suppress Chinese businesses.

He urged the US to be mindful of the spillover effects of its domestic macro policies and adopt responsible macroeconomic policies.
