👀 One detail stands out.
The room brought together the companies sitting across AI, chips, cloud, finance, energy, manufacturing and consumer spending.
And while the dinner itself was diplomatic, the guest list offers a pretty good snapshot of the sectors that matter most to the US-China economic relationship right now.
Notably, the Chinese delegation did not include an equivalent group of business executives.
Tech. Chips. AI. Capital. Energy. Manufacturing.
That was the room.
