According to CNN, on its 2nd working day, General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping received US President Donald Trump in Zhongnanhai - the leadership complex of the Communist Party of China in Beijing. Only a few US leaders have ever set foot in this headquarters.
Zhongnanhai is the center of power of China, often considered equivalent to the White House or the Kremlin. Security in this area is extremely strict, the entry and exit is undertaken by a elite military unit responsible for the personal security of senior Chinese leaders.
US President Richard Nixon met with Chairman Mao Zedong in Zhongnanhai during his historic trip to Beijing in 1972 - the first time a US president visited China.
Thirty years later, President George W. Bush also came to Zhongnanhai with the then Chinese President Jiang Zemin.
The most recent US President to visit Zhongnanhai was Barack Obama and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping here in 2014.
