Visit to go on amid tensions
Offer to mediate ahead of South Sudan leader's first Beijing trip
The visit by South Sudan's president to China was not rescheduled despite escalating tension between Sudan and South Sudan.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July after decades of civil war, but the two states never agreed on a border, how much the landlocked South should pay to transport its oil through Sudan and the division of national debt, among other issues.
