In recent years, particularly over the past two years since President Obama took office, China-US relations have made strong headway thanks to the joint efforts of both sides.

Wide of protesters\u003cbr/\u003eThe US President and his first lady held a state dinner for the visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday which also welcomed a mix of Hollywood stars, business leaders and prominent Chinese-Americans to the White House.\u003cbr/\u003eMichelle Obama was dressed in an elegant orange-red shoulder-baring gown that swished around her in soft folds, and the president sported a tuxedo, as the two welcomed Hu on a red carpet at the White House portico.\u003cbr/\u003eA state dinner was an honour that Hu was denied during his last visit in 2005 by former US President George W. Bush, much to the displeasure of the Chinese leader.\u003cbr/\u003eHollywood was represented on Wednesday in the form of singer Barbra Streisand, her husband, actor James Brolin and action film star Jackie Chan. \u003cbr/\u003eBig business turned out in force, too, including Microsoft's Steven Ballmer and JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, among others. \u003cbr/\u003eAmong the big names: fashion's Vera Wang, Vogue's Anna Wintour, artist Maya Lin, Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan, and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to add some gravitas. \u003cbr/\u003eFormer presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter made the cut, too.\u003cbr/\u003eThe dinner's all-star jazz lineup included trumpeter Chris Botti, two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, jazz icon Herbie Hancock, rising star Lang Lang and four-time Grammy-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 225 guests were spread out among three rooms: the State Dining Room, Blue Room and Red Room, before all moving to the East Room for the entertainment. \u003cbr/\u003eThere were big video monitors for those in the Blue and Red rooms to catch the dinner toasts.\u003cbr/\u003eThe two presidents' toasts featured the usual promises of better relations all around, and Obama used the moment to highlight an agreement that will ensure the beloved giant pandas from China remain at the Smithsonian National Zoo for another five years.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Obamas opted against bringing in a high-profile guest chef, instead putting White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford in charge.\u003cbr/\u003eThe White House said the all-American theme was selected at the request of the Chinese delegation.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the menu: d'anjou pear salad with farmstead goat cheese, poached Maine lobster, orange glazed carrots and black trumpet mushrooms, dry aged rib eye with buttermilk crisp onions, double-stuffed potatoes and creamed spinach. \u003cbr/\u003eDessert was to be old-fashioned apple pie with vanilla ice cream.\u003cbr/\u003eThere were some high-profile no-shows, including three of the top four leaders from Congress: House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who declined Obama's past state dinner invitations; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrat Nevada; and Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.\u003cbr/\u003eWith the Senate out of session, Reid was home in Nevada and McConnell just wrapped up a congressional trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan and had not planned to be in Washington this week, aides said.\u003cbr/\u003eHouse Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat California, was the only top congressional leader to accept an invitation. \u003cbr/\u003eMany in Congress see China as an economic threat to the US, Pelosi also has been an outspoken critic of China's human rights record throughout her career.\u003cbr/\u003eAs the lavish state dinner was being held, dozens of pro-Tibetan protesters gathered outside the White House to voice their opposition to the Chinese president's visit and Beijing's control over Tibet.\u003cbr/\u003eChina, which sent Communist troops into Tibet in 1950, claims the region has been Chinese territory for centuries. \u003cbr/\u003eMany Tibetans say they were effectively independent for most of that time.\u003cbr/\u003eUS leaders, including Obama, have infuriated China repeatedly by meeting with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
