  "account": "President Xi Jinping is set to visit Washington this week, but without a delegation of Chinese business leaders, according to sources. Two individuals familiar with the situation reported that China had been finalizing a group of business leaders to join Xi's US trip, including companies that may be facing scrutiny from US regulators. However, the reason for the proposed delegation not attending remains unclear. One source suggested that the White House has other priorities, while another stated that US officials were unwilling to have Chinese firms with ties to the military represented. Both sources did not wish to be identified due to the non-public nature of the plan. When asked about business leaders accompanying Xi, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson stated that they do not have the relevant information. The White House did not provide a comment when requested. President Trump plans to host a state dinner for Xi at the White House on Thursday, and several US company executives are expected to attend, including CEOs from Amazon, Alphabet, OpenAI, Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Pfizer, and Meta Platforms.",
