U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are preparing to meet in Shenzhen next week, testing whether their personal diplomacy can deliver progress on trade and super intelligence (commonly referred to as artificial intelligence or AI) risk management.

Preparations continued on November 11, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi about Trump’s visit to the November 18–19 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and Xi’s planned attendance at December’s G20 summit in Florida.

The State Department said the call, requested by China, covered the importance of substantive leader-level conversations on peace and denuclearization, including at a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

China described the call as positive and constructive. Its account emphasized policy continuity and managing differences but did not mention denuclearization or a trilateral summit.

The Shenzhen encounter would be Trump and Xi’s third meeting this year, following reciprocal visits in May and September.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who said he would accompany Trump, outlined plans on November 10 for the bilateral dialogue on super intelligence.

In prepared remarks to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, he described exchanges on evaluating advanced models before release, preserving human control, and creating a direct channel for reporting serious incidents.

Those plans follow September’s agreement to establish a technology dialogue and an incident communication channel. His remarks did not say whether that channel was operational, leaving implementation as a concrete measure of progress.
