Chinese state media reported shortly following the announcement that Xi had agreed to meet with Trump at the summit, scheduled for June 28-29 in Osaka.
Xi said he hoped that the U.S. treats Chinese companies fairly, according to Chinese media — a possible reference to Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant that faces a ban because of what the U.S. calls national security issues.
China had kept mum about whether Xi would agree to a face-to-face meeting with the U.S. president at the summit while the two economic superpowers remain locked in a heated trade dispute.
Trump has said he expected that meeting to occur at the high-profile summit, but had recently downplayed the impact that it could have on forging a trade deal with Beijing. Trump told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” last week that “it doesn’t matter ” if Xi attends the G-20 or not.
“If he shows up, good, if he doesn’t — in the meantime, we’re taking in billions of dollars a month [in tariffs] from China,” Trump told Fox.
The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on Trump’s tweet.

Close. On the Dow — looking at a 100 year chart I see at least one data point higher — Sept 2018 26,828.
Enjoy it while you can. All it takes is a screw-up somewhere in the world and it can tank from such a high position.
After the dip we just had, I think there is steam left to the upside. I predict record highs by next Monday.
Lol.
They repeatedly blinked in Clinton, Bush, Obama eras.
China is good at making Americans feel that way.
My theory is that the Trump team gave the Mexicans the list of 26
Said...freeze the assets of these as a gesture of good faith ,,,,and do it today
And we have a back up list of 260 that we can asset freeze according to the President Trump EO of December 2017....maybe you are on the list.....are you feeling lucky punk?
Choose wisely grasshopper.
