Chinese President Xi Jinping has received former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger. The two met in the same state guest house where Kissinger first met the then-Beijing leadership over 50 years ago. Kissinger's talks back then played a key role in the US and Beijing normalising relations.
Washington says this visit is private. But it comes amid a series of high level meetings between US and Chinese leaders, aimed at difusing tensions after relations hit a low point earlier this year. At his 100 years of age, Kissinger is still a diplomatic heavyweight. The White House has expressed regret that Kissinger got more of an audience in Beijing than some sitting US officials.
