The Seattle Times: Xi’s visit to ‘Sleepless’ Seattle may update city’s profile in China.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s meeting with local leaders and titans of industry in the Seattle area this week means the city’s profile will increase among ordinary people in his country.

CNN：He said what? China's Xi Jinping makes 'House of Cards' joke.

Xi Jinping did something unusual, almost unheard of, for a Chinese President: He cracked a joke. In public.

Talking about crackdown on corruption in a speech during his visit to the United States Tuesday, Xi said that this has nothing to do with power struggle.

This is not, he said, with a smile a "House of Cards" -- a reference to the popular American political TV drama.
