U.S. government officials, business leaders and their spouses dominated a list of more than 100 people who will attend a state dinner Thursday, according to a White House press release.
On the Chinese side, only seven officials were listed, accompanying Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump and their wives.
Nvidia, Apple, Meta and OpenAI were among the major U.S. tech companies represented. But Anthropic was not on the list.
Chinese business leaders were previously expected to attend the dinner. Earlier, CNBC reported that someone briefed about the preparations but who wasn’t authorized to speak on the record said they weren’t aware of any Chinese companies who have been invited to join Xi on his trip.
Xi is making his first state visit to the U.S. since Barack Obama’s presidency more than a decade ago. He arrived in the U.S. on Wednesday and is scheduled to leave Friday.
