SUMMARY
Chinese President Xi Jinping has invited American tourists to visit China to help revive its struggling economy, emphasizing the importance of cultural exchanges at a recent tourism summit in Xi’an. This summit, the first since 2019, aimed to attract U.S. visitors amid ongoing economic challenges such as manufacturing disruptions, a sluggish job market, and a severe real estate crisis. U.S. President Joe Biden supported this initiative, inviting Chinese tourists to the United States. Despite these efforts, the U.S. State Department has a travel warning for China due to risks of arbitrary detention for Americans. Xi’s broader strategy includes reassuring foreign investors to foster a more welcoming business environment and mitigate the economic downturn.
