Xi Jinping and his old friends from Iowa

At the Vision China event in New York on September 12, Sarah Lande, an "Old Friend" from Muscatine, Iowa, who hosted President Xi Jinping in 1985 and 2012, reflected on their first meeting in 1985. In 2012, President Xi returned to Iowa, and the two reconnected. When recalling the precious memory of reuniting with President Xi, Lande said, "he said you are the first people in America I met, and to me you are America."
