American envoy in Hong Kong upbeat on US-China ties, aims to engage city officials

US Consul General Julie Eadeh says recent Xi-Trump summit set a vision for continued dialogue despite challenges

The reception, marking the 250th anniversary of the country’s independence, was also attended by Jonathan Burke, US assistant secretary of the Treasury, the highest-ranking American official to visit Hong Kong since 2023.

Eadeh declined to disclose details of the visit by Burke, who is responsible for formulating and coordinating the counterterrorist financing and anti-money-laundering efforts of the Treasury Department, saying only that he would discuss “very key issues” concerning the financial industry.
