China Plans Business Delegation for Xi's US Visit Amid Tech and Trade Tensions

Electronic Technology · Semiconductors · yonhap_finance · 2026-09-11

China is organizing a delegation of tech, EV, and aerospace executives to accompany President Xi Jinping on his upcoming visit to the United States.

What Happened

Delegation Planning: China is actively coordinating a business delegation, including leaders from the IT, electric vehicle, and aerospace sectors, to accompany President Xi Jinping on his upcoming trip to the US. This move is modeled after the US executive delegation that joined President Trump during his visit to China in May, emphasizing a reciprocal approach to diplomatic and economic engagement.

Symbolic Significance: Analysts suggest that the delegation's primary role is to project a sense of stability in bilateral economic relations rather than to secure immediate, large-scale investment deals. Despite the high-profile nature of the visit, expectations for a major breakthrough remain low due to ongoing disputes over artificial intelligence and advanced semiconductor technologies.

High-Level Negotiations: Ahead of the summit, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are working to arrange a meeting to finalize key economic and trade agendas. While progress is expected on some trade issues, discussions regarding investment remain difficult, as the two nations clash over whether to adopt a pre-approved industry list or a case-by-case review process.

Logistical Hurdles: China has reportedly requested that the US expedite visa processing for members of the proposed business delegation to ensure their attendance. While President Trump has publicly discussed the visit, Beijing has maintained a cautious stance, stating only that both sides are in communication regarding the schedule for high-level exchanges.
