US president's trip to include signing of major business deals

US President Donald Trump's first state visit to China, which will start on Wednesday, is expected to yield positive results for bilateral ties, with a number of major business deals due to be signed, said officials and analysts.

It will also be the first visit by a foreign head of state to China since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which ended in Beijing last week, at which the new CPC Central Committee was elected.
