He was so pleased with the warm and friendly welcoming this evening,really considering Iowa is old friend.
Experts say for years Xi was known mostly for his famous wife,a Chinese singer while he lineage runs deep in the Communist Party.He representative a new generation of leaders.Former Ambassador Jon Huntsman,believe Xi could be good for American business.
He's got out of this way in recent years to bomb up the economics and trade,knowing for well that these are issues that are going to determine whether or not United States  and China are able to get through the years to come.
