A high-level American business delegation will visit China this week on a trip that coincides with the latest round of US-China trade talks, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The trip to Beijing will be organised by the US-China Business Council and led by FedEx chief executive Rajesh Subramaniam, the council’s board chair.
The full list of visiting business leaders and schedule is not known but both sources said that Boeing executives and the president of the council Sean Stein were certain to be part of the delegation.
“They are expected to meet with Chinese officials – potentially to revive business discussions,” a source said.
The council has not responded to requests for comment.
The council regularly organises visits to China that coincide with significant events and involve meetings with senior officials. Last year’s visit coincided with a major policy meeting in Beijing and included senior executives from Apple, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and Micron Technology.
The upcoming visit will be the highest-level American business delegation since US President Donald Trump started his latest tariff war in April.
