BEIJING With two days to go before Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to land in the U.S., very little is known about which Chinese executives will join him. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment Tuesday morning. Late on Monday, the ministry confirmed Xi's U.S. trip, planned for Wednesday to Friday. On the U.S. side, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is one of the executives who will attend a dinner expected Thursday in Washington, D.C., according to a source familiar. Microsoft and the White House did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. Senior U.S. officials have shared names of some other executives who will join: Those business leaders include: On the Chinese side, Reuters reported last week that business representatives under consideration included those from electric car giant BYD, smartphone company Xiaomi, battery makers CATL and Gotion, consumer electronics manufacturer Hisense, automotive parts company Wanxiang, state-owned Bank of China and agricultural conglomerate COFCO Group. BYD had no comment when contacted by CNBC. The other Chinese companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment. As tensions between the U.S. and China have escalated in recent years, both governments have put companies from the other country on blacklists that restrict business activity. CNBC's Jordan Novet and Ashlee Trujillo contributed to this report.
