This will mark Xi&#8217;s first meeting with a foreign private entrepreneur in recent years, and the encounter may be a one-on-one meeting. The sources did not disclose what the two might discuss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Gates&#8217; Philanthropic Works<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Gates tweeted on Wednesday that he had landed in Beijing for the first time since 2019 and that he would meet with partners who had been working on global health and development challenges with the Bill &#038; Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates stepped down from Microsoft&#8217;s board in 2020 to focus on philanthropic works related to global health, education, and climate change. He quit his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-gates-set-to-meet-xi-jinping-in-china\/\" title=\"Bill Gates to meet Xi Jinping in China.\">full-time executive role<\/a> at Microsoft in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Long Hiatus by Xi<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The meeting would mark the end of a long hiatus by Xi in recent years from meeting foreign private entrepreneurs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/just-in-third-circuit-court-of-appeals-grants-expedited-review-for-team-trumps-appeal-in-pennsylvania\/\" title=\"JUST IN: Third Circuit Court of Appeals Grants Expedited Review For Team Trump's Appeal in Pennsylvania\">business leaders<\/a>, after the Chinese president stopped traveling abroad for nearly three years as China shut its borders during the pandemic. Several foreign CEOs have visited China since it reopened early this year but most have mainly met with government ministers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Caution from Foreign Business Community<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The mood of the foreign business community towards China, however, has turned cautious as Sino-U.S. tensions intensify and Xi increases the country&#8217;s focus on national security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Visit Ahead of Blinken&#8217;s Visit<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Gates&#8217; visit also comes ahead of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackrock-invests-state-retirement-funds-in-chinese-firms-tied-to-uyghur-genocide\/\" title=\"Blackrock Invests State Retirement Funds in Chinese Firms Tied to Uyghur Genocide\">long-delayed visit<\/a> by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China set to take place between June 18-19 which is aimed at stabilizing relations between the world&#8217;s two largest economies and strategic rivals. Blinken had a tense call with China&#8217;s foreign minister Qin Gang on Wednesday, during which Qin urged the United States to stop meddling in its affairs and harming its security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the cautious mood, Gates&#8217; meeting with Xi is a positive sign for the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/snl-runs-disgusting-hit-piece-on-mike-lindell-mocks-him-for-previous-drug-addiction-and-his-support-for-donald-trump-video\/\" title=\"SNL Runs Disgusting Hit Piece on Mike Lindell, Mocks Him for Previous Drug Addiction and His Support for Donald Trump (VIDEO)\">business relations<\/a> between China and the rest of the world.
