President Trump is scheduled to arrive in China this week (the week of May 11, 2026) for a high-stakes summit with President Xi Jinping. This marks his first visit to the country during his second term.

While the full delegation includes a dozen or more high-profile CEOs, media reports have highlighted a core group of five billionaires whose combined net worth is estimated at roughly $870 billion.

The Billionaire Delegation​

The primary billionaires identified in the entourage are:
BillionaireCompany
Elon MuskTesla / SpaceX / xAI
Stephen SchwarzmanBlackstone
Tim CookApple
Larry CulpGE Aerospace
Larry FinkBlackRock

Other Notable Attendees​

In addition to the billionaire "quintet," several other prominent executives were invited to join the trip to discuss trade, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing:

  • Kelly Ortberg (Boeing)
  • Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron Technology)
  • Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm)
  • Jane Fraser (Citigroup)
  • David Solomon (Goldman Sachs)
Notably, Jensen Huang (Nvidia) was reportedly not invited, despite expressing interest in joining the delegation. The summit is expected to focus on trade tariffs, regional security concerns, and the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.

Trump is traveling by plane. Usually when people hear "by plane" they think "by plain," but that's definitely not correct. He's arriving on a plane.

Make it 15 billionaires.

The economy is about to explode. If Trump can open up trade with China, might as well start chiseling mt Rushmore right now.

Love his strategy. The Chinese love to be flattered and shown respect.

Good job Trump! USA!! USA!!! USA!!!

If the Nvidia guy is there, does that mean China will be allowed to buy their top chips for AI?

We don't want China to have those top chips. BUT we also don't want to force China to develop their own.

If I had to bet, I'd bet we let China have those chips.

If so, do we just cave, or do we get something in return?

The only thing the Grifter in Chief cares about is that he gets a cut.

This is a BRILLIANT move by Trump. He's got a bunch of Billionaires and the Chinese Govenment in the same room. Can you say BIDDING WAR? Holy crap, favored trading/taxes... whatever. It's all for sale to the highest bidder. We all know Trump will make out like a bandit, too bad the USA will be a distant second AT BEST in that room.

By the way, that answers the question about Musk. Richest man in the world... enough said. He's already paid Trump $280 million or so for a copy of the Social Security and IRS databases for every American. What might he spring for next?

Mamdani stupid little post. Economics is the best way to deal with China from a position of strength. These people could do more good and be more effective than 20 senators. Musk and Huang are amazingly successful entrepreneurs and extremely smart people.

The cultists here have it worse than over at the other place. Not enough laugh emojis for this post.

Idiots.

If parody I tip my cap.

The panican doomer.

The world is falling apart, his hair is on fire, he is pitching a fit and possibly having a TDS seizure.


Can’t stand that America is winning! Bring home the bacon Trump!

USA! USA! USA!
