Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Shanghai for the first time since the financial hub’s bruising two-month Covid lockdown, local media reported, as he tries to boost waning private sector sentiment.
Xi is set to visit the Shanghai Futures Exchange and several technology giants operating in the mega-city on Tuesday, the South China Morning Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter. He’ll also urge officials to spur cross-border trade and capital flows during his three-day trip, according to the Monday report.
