  "account": "Chinese and US officials are discussing the possibility of business leaders joining President Xi Jinping's delegation during his upcoming visit to the United States next month, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. This comes as both sides prepare to extend a one-year trade agreement reached in Busan last October. The talks are also centered around preparing for the September 24 meeting between Xi and US President Donald Trump in Washington. In a meeting with US ambassador to China David Perdue in Beijing, Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need for both sides to implement the leaders' consensus, manage differences, and remove obstacles to high-level exchanges to foster a stable, healthy, and sustainable relationship. The US ambassador described the May visit to China as \"very successful,\" highlighting the importance of strategic guidance provided by both leaders.

Beijing is eager to bring business leaders, as many Chinese companies remain interested in investing in the US. The Board of Trade agreement, another important outcome from the summit, could potentially be part of the delegation, focusing on identifying non-sensitive sectors and products eligible for tariff-reduced trade. As the business delegation and trade talks progress in parallel, both sides are seeking concrete outcomes from the September summit while managing broader trade and investment ties. It is widely understood that the trade truce agreed upon in Busan will be extended, with both sides wanting the deal despite recent retaliatory measures and actions by the US Federal Communications Commission. The extension is likely to be for one year, with the US seeking another one-year deal and China preferring a longer extension to lock in a favorable agreement.",
