On Tuesday, Xi will speak before 600 corporate and policy leaders at a Washington lunch organized by the U.S.-China Business Council and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

In Los Angeles, Xi is to take part in an investment-promotion event sponsored by China's Ministry of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Xi is being accompanied by officials including Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and International Trade Representative Gao Hucheng.
