meeting xi: An entourage of high-profile Chinese businessmen, including Alibaba Group Holding Chairman Jack Ma Yun, Dalian Wanda Group Chairman Wang Jianlin and Baidu President Zhang Yaqin, will accompany Xi to attend the meeting, according to Xinhua, according to Global Times China. Xi is expected to hold talks with some global leaders among more than 3,000 attendees, which might include UK Prime Minister Theresa May, the soon-to-be-former US Vice President Joe Biden and South African President Jacob Zuma, said Bloomberg, citing David Aikman, the WEF's chief China representative. As the first Chinese head of state to address the WEF, the annual gathering of top business leaders, international political leaders and selected intellectuals for the discussion of world's most pressing issues, Xi will deliver a speech at the WEF's opening session, Bloomberg reported Monday. US President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated in Washington, DC on the final day of the meeting, said Bloomberg. In 2016, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang led a delegation to the Summer Davos Forum in North China's Tianjin Municipality. The Bloomberg said that Xi is likely to highlight China's signature projects during the meeting, such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the One Belt, One Road initiative, to expand China's role in global economy.
