President Donald Trump is heading to China this week with a smaller-than-expected group of U.S. corporate executives, hoping to turn a tense summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping into a show of economic strength, trade progress, and diplomatic control at a moment when Beijing may have more leverage than Washington wants to admit.
