Background 2.15

The Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping set out to visit the United States on Feb 13 on a three-country tour. According to official announcements, Xi's itinerary includes Washington DC, California and Iowa, a mid-western state, which probably struggles a little harder for recognition. Why did Xi pick Iowa? What's special about this state? And to go even further, how do Chinese and American people see each other? Let's talk to three guests about two polls.

中国国家副主席习近平于2月13日起程出访三个国家，首站美国。根据官方公告，习的行程包括三站：华盛顿、加州和艾奥瓦州——一个不怎么为人知的美国中西部州。 为什么习近平选择访问艾奥瓦？这个州有什么特别的？再往深讨论：中美两国民众如何看待对方？我们邀请了三位嘉宾，来谈谈两组民意调查。
