Confirmed attendees for Trump-Xi dinner remain scarce

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to arrive in the U.S. Wednesday for a three-day trip, with a dinner planned Thursday in Washington, D.C., though few details are known about which Chinese executives will attend. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is confirmed to attend the dinner, according to a source familiar with the matter. Reuters reported potential Chinese attendees include BYD, Xiaomi, CATL, Gotion, Hisense, Wanxiang, Bank of China, and COFCO Group, though none have confirmed. The dinner comes amid heightened U.S.-China tensions, with both governments placing companies on blacklists restricting business activity. China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the trip late Monday but did not respond to requests for comment on the guest list.
