Trump, Xi having tea at start of China visit

President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) are having tea at the start of the U.S. president's visit to China.
The Forbidden City, an ancient imperial complex in the heart of Beijing, is normally teeming with tourists but was empty Wednesday for Trump's visit.
The two sides are starting two days of meetings that will be centered on trade and the North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Both men were joined by their wives.
President Donald Trump is making his first official visit to China amid regional tensions on trade and North Korea.
Trump landed in Beijing on Wednesday following events in South Korea. He is scheduled to meet multiple times with China's President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) during the two-day visit.
Xi was treating Trump to a lavish welcoming ceremony and tour of the Forbidden City, home to China's ancient imperial palaces. The visit comes hours after Trump addressed South Korea's National Assembly and pressured China to stop supporting North Korea.
Trump made equalizing trade with China a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. But he has signaled that he may ease up in exchange for China's help with North Korea.
China is the third stop on Trump's Asia tour. The trip opened in Japan.
President Donald Trump has paid his respects at Seoul National Cemetery in South Korea.
Trump was greeted at the cemetery by crowds waving U.S. and South Korean flags. Trump and his wife, Melania, walked slowly toward a tall granite monument and watched as an honor guard positioned a wreath of white carnations. The president and first lady then donned white gloves to sprinkle handfuls of incense into a cauldron that began to smoke gently.

A government official told pressmen that the State colours will be changed in the next few days. It is said the colours of red and white will replace the colours of blue and white. The new red and white logo also has a bull in the middle signifying the ‘energy’ behind the activities in the State and the 18 stars encircling the logo represent the 18 local governments of Cross River State. •Analyzing the changes and the reasons for them, one will see that the State Executive Council has no compelling reason to change the State logo. They are simply looking for mundane undertakings just to lay claim to having marked the State’s golden jubilee. How can they change the State logo which is unique in all its ways into that new thing that looks like the ...

PROFESSOR BEN AYADE, THE DIGITAL GOVERNOR OF CROSS RIVER STATE. ( A FARMER THAT SOWS WITH FATE )

Image
A FARMER THAT SOWS WITH FATE With genuine inspirational dreams to revolve Cross Ri ver State into an Industrial hop, the digital Governor, Prof. Ben. AYADE can be likened with the Biblical Farmer that sows with fate for a bumper harvest, therefore, the digital Governor should be seen and estimated as a Unified, a Political enigma and Colossus, a game changer and in general, a Nation builder and Healer with a developmental transition in his mind. Though, the metaphysical transcendence inherent in his dream of Industrializing the State might appear too dark to his Foes, antagonists and adversaries to acquaint themselves with the light in it. However, we can achieve, if we as a people stake down our respective interests and support the Governor of his noble dreams for our State's development and for posterity sake. Let us all remember our CHILDREN, GRAND CHILDREN and GREAT, GREAT GRAND CHILDREN !!
