Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to visit Washington, D.C., later in September, according to the White House.
Back in July, the U.S. accused the Chinese of hacking U.S. computers, from businesses to even the U.S. government’s personnel office, a charge that China denies. President Barack Obama said in August that he would relay the U.S.’ concerns over the issue during Xi’s visit to Washington.
