BEIJING — The real estate company owned by the family of Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, said on Friday
that its employees would no longer take part in a cross-country roadshow in China this month.
The Chinese partner of Kushner Companies, an immigration agency named Qiaowai, said on Friday
that the meetings this month would go forward, but that no one from Kushner Companies would attend.
But after an uproar, the company and its Chinese partner said on Friday
that Kushner Companies would no longer be present at those events, although it will continue to actively court investors.
On Friday, Risa B. Heller, a spokeswoman for Kushner Companies, said its employees would no longer
participate in the roadshow after taking part in meetings in Beijing and Shanghai last weekend.
