Chinese President Xi Jinping graced the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit's American business dinner post-event, attracting a high-profile ensemble. Attendees ranged from U.S. President Joe Biden to tech giants Apple's Cook and Tesla's Musk, along with financial heavyweights Dalio and Fink. An industry insider noted, "Almost all top 20 U.S. companies in China were present," marking a congregation of noteworthy figures.
Reports suggest the dinner's value soared to $40,000, underscoring its opulence. Amidst dialogue with the U.S. business community, President Xi proposed initiatives such as expanded China-U.S. direct flights, high-level tourism talks, and streamlined visa processes. Foreign media highlighted Xi's bid to woo American businesses during China's dwindling foreign investment phase.

CZ's witty response to the mix-up added a humorous touch to the incident.
