AMD CEO Lisa Su met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Monday, pledging to expand AMD's operations and investment in the country days after President Trump's state visit to China. He Lifeng invited multinational companies, including AMD, to deepen cooperation, citing the "balanced and positive" outcomes of the Xi Jinping-Trump summit held May 13th to 15th, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Su wasn’t part of the executive delegation that accompanied Trump to Beijing, a group that included Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was also initially left off the guest list before Trump personally called him and invited him to board Air Force One during a refueling stop in Anchorage. He Lifeng held a separate meeting with Huang as well.
