Wall Street CEOs Flocked to Hong Kong—and Kept Quiet on China

HONG KONG—When some of Wall Street’s most powerful executives assembled in Hong Kong this week, one topic was noticeable by its absence: China.

The chief executives of U.S. banks including Citi, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were in the city on Tuesday for the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit, where they rubbed shoulders with local government officials and senior Chinese regulators. They spoke about broad topics such as financial stability, interest rates and capital markets.
