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.
