But the event, yet to be formally announced by hosts U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC) and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR), also presents uneasy optics. The USCBC and NCUSCR both declined to comment on the planned dinner. Xi has overseen a crackdown on U.S. consultancy and due-diligence firms, a further blow to investor confidence. Jeff Moon, a former U.S. trade official turned business adviser, said China's goal would be to soften Xi's image and attract investment, but that the dinner was unlikely to "move any needles." "They have come to accept that there's no substitute for hearing and seeing and observing what Xi Jinping is doing," said Patel.

One in two owners say pets are just as important as human members of their family, a survey found. The US pet industry will be worth $200 billion a year by the end of the decade, Bloomberg forecasts. One in two pet owners think their furry friends are as much a part of their family as a human, according to a new survey. The online research surveyed the views of just under 3,000 pet owners in April. It found women were more likely to consider their pets equal to a human family member (57%) than men (43%).
