Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe met his counterpart Xi Jinping in China today, weeks after he was snubbed by U.S. President Barack Obama at a summit of African leaders he hosted in Washington.
Mugabe, 90, was welcomed with an honor guard outside the Great Hall of the People, receiving a 21-gun salute. He was then serenaded by three women playing traditional Chinese instruments before heading into closed-door meetings with Xi.
