Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to deliver a major speech at a dinner event for US business executives during his visit to San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit. The invitation, sent out by the National Committee on US-China Relations and the US-China Business Council, did not specify the headliner of the event; however, Bloomberg reported that Xi Jinping was the keynote speaker, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The event, scheduled for November 15, has attracted the interest of numerous CEOs from Apec-based companies and is expected to draw a large crowd. With tickets priced at $2,000 per person, organizers have observed a high demand for the event. The Chinese embassy in Washington has yet to confirm Xi's attendance at the summit, but the White House has indicated a meeting between the leaders next week.

One of Xi's primary objectives during his visit to the US is to reassure foreign investors who increasingly feel anxious about doing business in China. While the exact details of the meeting and any potential announcements are yet to be revealed, the anticipated face-to-face between President Biden and President Xi is not expected to bring significant changes to the US-China relationship.
