Exclusive | Tech, EV and aerospace execs likely to join Xi’s US trip to mirror Trump team

Beijing is weighing plans to send a group of top tech, electric vehicle and aerospace executives to accompany Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington

later this month, as the two sides race to finalise details for the closely watched visit.

This meant that the Chinese delegation was expected to comprise business leaders from the tech, finance, EV and aerospace sectors, they said.

One source familiar with the matter said China had yet to formally commit to bringing any business leaders to Washington with Xi. But both Beijing and Washington were treating every aspect of the visit as a matter of reciprocity, including the composition of the business delegation.

When Trump travelled to Beijing in May, more than a dozen top American CEOs joined him, including the heads of Tesla, Apple, Nvidia and Boeing.
