(120215) — MUSCATINE, Feb. 15, 2012 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (L) presents the granddaughter of his old friend Sarah Lande with a panda doll in Muscatine, a small city in Iowa, the United States, Feb. 15, 2012. Xi joined dozens of ordinary Americans for tea at a local house owned by Sarah Lande here Wednesday. Most of the participants at the tea reception were Xi’s old acquaintances back from his 1985 visit, when Xi, then a local official from China’s northern province of Hebei, visited Iowa as a member of an agricultural exchange delegation, and stayed with a local family in Muscatine to better understand Iowan farm life.
