The U.S. Chamber of Commerce participated in a fancy San Francisco dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday that included CEOs from major U.S. companies, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Chinese officials, according to a seating chart first obtained by the Daily Caller.

Many of the names of who was attending the dinner were previously reported, however the Daily Caller first learned that Chinse Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended and sat with Fink. Wang has said allegations his country is carrying out genocide against Uighur Muslims are “ridiculously absurd” and “a complete lie”. The U.S.-China Business Council and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations were also hosts.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to try and control, govern and manipulate all aspects of faith through the “Sinicization of Religion.” The Department of Labor reports that the Government of the People’s Republic of China has detained more than 1,000,000 Uyghurs since 2017.

Dinner included CEOs from companies such as Apple, Blackstone, BlackRock, Honeywell, FedEx, Boeing, Pfizer, Visa, NIKE, Mastercard and more. According to the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, tickets to attend the dinner cost $40,000.

“We are often told by business interests that we should support pro-business policies so American companies can compete with China. But this doesn’t look like competition — this looks like Chairman Xi is making an acquisition,” Jon Schweppe, policy Director for the American Principles Project told the Caller regarding the seating chart.

“Maybe it’s time for the ‘U.S.’ Chamber to make a name change. How do you say Chamber of Commerce in Chinese?,” Schweppe added. (RELATED: ‘Well, Look, He Is’: Biden Calls Xi Jinping A ‘Dictator In A Sense’ After Meeting)

The Caller contacted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce about the dinner to which they said to contact the US China Business Council and the National Committee on US China Relations, to which they did not immediately respond.
