The US and Chinese governments are finalizing the selection of top Chinese business figures to accompany President Xi Jinping on his visit to the United States, according to three people familiar with the matter. According to the sources, candidates include Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD, smartphone maker Xiaomi, which has also expanded into EVs, battery giants CATL and Gotion High-Tech, home appliance maker Hisense Group, auto parts supplier Wanxiang Group, state-owned Bank of China, and agricultural conglomerate COFCO. Accompanying a large business delegation to the United States would be an unusual move. According to the people, the finalization of the delegation's members will wait for talks this weekend between US Treasury Secretary Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, with formal invitations to be sent to each company within the next few days, and the US State Department is expected to approve visas for the delegation. CATL and BYD were added to the US Department of Defense's corporate list in January 2025 and June 2026, respectively, over alleged ties to the Chinese military. China's Foreign Ministry, responding to a Reuters question, said it had no information.

China Jushi and Hunan Yuneng Disclose Shareholder Reductions on Same Day; CATL Stake Falls Below 5%
On the evening of September 17, China Jushi and Hunan Yuneng both issued announcements on changes in shareholder equity, with both companies experiencing reductions by significant shareholders. China Jushi disclosed that its second-largest shareholder, Zhenshi Holding Group, reduced its holdings by 28.3264 million shares through centralized competitive trading from September 15 to September 17, 2026, with the equity change reaching the 1% threshold.

Including persons acting in concert Zhang Yuqiang and Zhang Jiankan, the combined shareholding ratio fell from 18.50% to 17.79%.
