JPMorgan has made significant inroads in China over the last couple of years. Now the bank's top boss is cracking jokes about whether his firm can outlast the country's powerful political machine.
Speaking at an event in Boston on Tuesday, JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon said he "made a joke" during a recent trip to Hong Kong, referencing the ruling Chinese Communist Party's 100th anniversary.
