A day late.
This was a harder post to put together than the previous State Dinners - all the coverage was coast to coast Holy Sea - with little time left over for a few Gazillianiars eating lobster with the President of China. Photos were sort of hard to come by, but I did the best I could.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, and Madame Peng Liyuan for an Official State Visit followed by a State Dinner. This marks the tenth State Visit of the Obama
Administration; previous visits include: India in November 2009, Mexico in May 2010, China in January 2011, Germany in June 2011, Korea in October 2011, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland in March 2012, France in February 2014, Japan in April 2015, and the Holy See in September 2015.
This visit reciprocates President Obama’s State Visit to China in November 2014. President Xi’s visit presents an opportunity to expand U.S.-China cooperation on a range of global, regional, and bilateral issues of mutual interest, while also enabling President Obama and President Xi to constructively address areas of disagreement.
