Trade and geopolitics are expected to dominate the agenda, but United States President Donald Trump’s guest list for his trip to China suggests technology will also be on the table for talks on Thursday with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
Among those making the trip alongside Trump are Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia’s chief Jensen Huang.
An Nvidia spokesperson told Euronews Next that "Jensen is attending the summit at the invitation of President Trump to support America and the administration's goals".
But rather than semiconductors, the agenda is more likely to focus on Iran, Taiwan and artificial intelligence-enabled warfare - especially following its widespread use in conflicts in Gaza and Iran.
Artificial intelligence has become central to the US-China tech race and there are hopes that both leaders will talk about cooperating on the technology.
