US President Donald Trump has arrived in Beijing, BBC reports.
During his two-day visit, Trump will hold high-stakes talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Joining Trump on his trip to China are some of the US's top business leaders.
Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, and Larry Fink of BlackRock, are among those the US president says are travelling with him.
"I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to 'open up' China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level," Trump says in a post on social media.
Trump says that will be his "very first request" when he meets the Chinese leader.
"I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries," he says.
The boss of Nvidia, a company which has been central to the US-China technology rivalry, was reportedly a last-minute addition.
