ExclusiveBYD, Xiaomi and Innolight executives likely to join Xi Jinping on US visit: sources
Sizeable business delegation – mirroring US President Donald Trump’s entourage in Beijing – suggests potential for investment deals at the summit
Figures from some of China’s most prominent firms – including electric vehicle maker BYD and smart manufacturing giant Xiaomi – are likely to accompany President Xi Jinping on his trip to the US next week, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.
The entourage would draw a parallel to the coterie of CEOs that US President Donald Trump brought to Beijing in May, and could signal greater potential for investment deals as part of the high-profile summit.
Bank of China, the country’s most internationalised lender with an established presence in the US, might also be invited, the person added.
