BYD, CATL, Xiaomi executives may join Xi’s US visit, sources say

Chinese officials are considering executives from BYD, Xiaomi and other firms as they seek market access and reciprocity after Trump’s Beijing trip.

  • Next week, President Donald Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington for a summit, while Beijing weighs sending a delegation of tech, electric vehicle, and aerospace executives to mirror Trump's May business entourage to China.
  • Aiming for reciprocity, the selection process for the Chinese delegation prioritizes companies with potential U.S. deals in progress and loyalty to the Communist Party, mirroring Trump's earlier Beijing visit structure.
  • Among the companies being reviewed are EV maker BYD, smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi, and battery giant CATL, despite several entities facing U.S. regulatory scrutiny or sanctions due to alleged links to the People's Liberation Army.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are expected to attend the White House state dinner, a central diplomatic highlight of the summit.
  • The summit arrives at a fraught moment as geopolitical tensions over artificial intelligence regulation, trade restrictions, and chip export controls loom over discussions between the two nations.
