China’s Xi Jinping arrives in San Francisco for first US visit in six years

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “China’s Xi Jinping arrives in San Francisco for first US visit in six years” – below is their description.

Chinese President Xi Jinping began his first visit to the United States in six years on Tuesday (November 14).

Xi waved from atop a passenger staircase attached to his Air China plane and then descended to meet U.S. officials waiting on the tarmac, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns.

He then got into his Chinese Hongqi, or “Red Flag,” limousine and departed the airport into the city, where demonstrations are expected both for and against his visit.

Xi is on his first visit to the U.S. since 2017. He is due to meet U.S. President Joe Biden at an undisclosed location in the San Francisco Bay Area on Wednesday morning and then attend the annual summit of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
