A Chinese bank has caught staff offering elite clients a chance to pay $150,000 to attend a dinner with US President Donald Trump and get their pictures with him. The China Construction Bank’s (CCB) employees were circulating the invitation, which included the bank’s logo, on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. It invited their high net worth clients to a dinner on 31 May in Dallas, Texas where they could also meet American “tycoons,” the invitation said.
