Xi Jinping to Bring Large Business Delegation to US for September Summit
Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to bring a large delegation of business executives to Washington for his September 24 summit with US President Donald Trump. This unusual move aims to signal China's support for investment and strengthen commercial ties amid increasing US scrutiny of Chinese companies. The delegation, not previously reported, reflects Beijing's effort to rebuild relations with private businesses following regulatory crackdowns since 2020. Both countries are discussing tariff reductions and trade barriers ahead of the US midterm elections.
