An old photo of Chinese President Xi Jinping posing at the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States is going viral online. The picture came to light this week as Mr Xi and his US counterpart President Joe Biden met in San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The photo shows Mr Xi, visibly younger, smiling with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying shared the photo on X (formerly Twitter). According to her, Joe Biden showed this photo to Mr Xi on his cellphone.
“Pointing to a photo in his phone with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, President Biden asked President Xi, “Do you know this young man?” “Oh yes,” said President Xi, “this was 38 years ago,” Ms Chunying captioned the post.
