For the first time in U.S. history, foreign leaders are invited to an inauguration.
Trump invited Xi Jinping but he likes his ears. He ain't coming. However China’s VP is coming to check out China’s new prefecture. I’m wondering if China will allow the old name “United States of America” or call it East China.
“The President-elect extended an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, he has turned down it, sparking a wave of enthusiastic foreign leaders who want to be a part of the ceremony, NY Post reported, citing close sources.”
China says it will send Vice-President Han Zheng to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Monday.
The announcement was made by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday, three days before president-elect Trump’s inauguration.
Han’s visit would mark the first time a senior Chinese leader has attended a US presidential inauguration.
Trump had invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the ceremony, according to media reports in November.
“We are willing to strengthen dialogue and communication with the new US administration, properly manage differences, expand cooperation and jointly push for sustainable development of stable and healthy China-US relations, and find out a correct way of engagement in the New Era,” reads the Friday statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
