Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for his first state visit in more than a decade, with President Trump greeting him at Joint Base Andrews. Xi has not visited the White House since 2015, while Trump visited China in May without receiving a comparable arrival ceremony. Discussions are expected to cover artificial intelligence, U.S. export controls on computing chips sold to China, possible tariff reductions on some goods and political prisoners. Brookings Institute fellow Kyle Chan said China is increasingly focused on developing its own AI chips and does not favor jointly slowing AI development, while emphasizing cyber risks rather than concerns that AI could soon threaten humanity. Republican Senator Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, criticized the lavish welcome and called Xi a brutal dictator. A state dinner is scheduled for tomorrow, with Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Michael Dell, Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Sam Altman of OpenAI expected to attend. Separately, a federal judge heard arguments over CNN, MS NOW and Politico's challenge to their White House ban and expressed skepticism about the administration's due-process and national-security arguments. No ruling has been issued on whether the ban will be lifted.
