China news commentary – Xi Jinping US visit

Last week China’s Vice President, and expected next leader, Xi Jinping visited the US. Here you can find a good background and political summary.

Concrete outcomes of the visit for companies on the ground in China include: eased restrictions on foreign films in China (currently only 20 foreign films are allowed to be released per year) and the opening up of third party auto-insurance to foreign invested companies (this may not sound very important but it has previously practically limited foreign firms ability to sell auto-insurance).
