In this Thursday, Sept. 24, 2015, photo, China’s flag is displayed next to the American flag on the side of the Old Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, the day before a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Chinese state media characterize Xis first state visit to the U.S. in positive terms, reporting that Xi has reassured U.S. businesses of Chinas healthy economy and dispelled concerns about hacking and its ambitions in the South China Sea _ the two key issues for Washington.
