The state dinner, organized by US President Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi Jinping, is scheduled for next Thursday, the 24th, and has become one of the most sought-after events among American political and business elites.
Among the confirmed participants are prominent figures from the technology sector, such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman. Other guests include Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia; Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google; Michael Dell; and Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup. Tim Cook, who recently stepped down as Apple's CEO, also secured a spot at this dinner.
It is worth noting that Musk, Huang, Cook, and Fraser were previously present at a banquet hosted by Xi for Trump in Beijing.
Due to limited spots, the event attracts both business leaders and politicians and technology experts. A planner responsible for the meeting stated that this is the 'most coveted invitation in the city.'
The occasion takes place during a week marked by the United Nations (UN) general assembly meeting in the United States.

Monica Crowley, head of US protocol, reported that Trump and Melania are awaiting the arrival of Xi and Peng Liyuan during the Chinese couple's first state visit to the United States in 11 years. According to Crowley, this three-day event underscores the relevance of the bilateral relationship and strategic issues for both nations.
