China's President Xi Jinping on Monday met with a number of veteran U.S. diplomats including former American Secretary of State Henry Kissenger at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to assess China-U.S. ties. The meeting between the Chinese leader and the U.S. statesmen comes amid a wrangling dispute between both countries after a U.S. warship sailed within 12 nautical miles of China's island on the Subi Reef about a week ago.
