  • China and the US are discussing the inclusion of Chinese business leaders in President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to the US.
  • A trade truce, initially agreed upon in Busan, is expected to be extended, with its terms considered "almost certain" to continue.
  • The visit, scheduled for September 24, will be Xi's first to the White House since 2015 and aims to foster stable bilateral relations amid ongoing tensions.

Preparations are underway for President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States next month, with discussions reportedly including the possibility of a Chinese business delegation accompanying him. This potential inclusion aims to mirror the composition of President Donald Trump's delegation during his visit to Beijing in May, which featured executives from major US tech and aerospace firms.

The South China Morning Post, citing sources familiar with the discussions, suggests that an extension of the trade truce, originally established in Busan, South Korea, last October, is highly probable. The continuation of these trade terms is considered "almost certain," indicating a mutual interest in maintaining a degree of stability in the economic relationship.

Xi is scheduled to meet with President Trump in Washington on September 24. This meeting marks Xi's first visit to the White House since 2015 and the first encounter between the two leaders on US soil since Trump's return to power. The discussions are expected to focus on managing differences and advancing the bilateral relationship in a "stable, healthy, and sustainable" manner, as urged by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Despite a period of relative diplomatic détente following the May summit, persistent frictions remain in areas such as trade, technology, artificial intelligence, and US restrictions on Chinese companies. Washington's recent sanctions against Iran, impacting Hong Kong and Chinese firms, have also added to the complex bilateral dynamic. Both nations have engaged in economic talks to develop new bilateral trade and investment mechanisms, including exploring reciprocal tariff reductions.
