Chinese president meets British prime minister
Chinese President Jiang Zemin (R) meets with British Prime
Minister Tony Blair (L) in Beijing Oct. 7. Blair arrived in China
the previous day. Blair's visit is said to symbolize a new chapter
in its bilateral relationship with China. Sino-British ties have
been severely strained since the suppression of the pro-democracy
movement in Tiananmen Square in June 1989, and were exacerbated by
wrangling over Hong Kong's reversion to China last year. Blair will
visit Hong Kong on Oct. 9.
