President Xi Jinping on Friday visited the English Premier League leaders Manchester City, as the soccer-loving president's State visit came to an end.
Accompanied by British Prime Minister David Cameron, Xi visited Manchester City's academy whose state-of-the-art training facility includes a 7,000-capacity stadium and 16 football pitches that can cater for more than 450 players.
The two leaders also posed for a selfie with Sergio Aguero cheap nike air max thea , City's Argentinian star striker - a rare move by a Chinese leader that was highly praised by analysts and netizens.
""A selfie is the best way to show the amicable side of a leader and it shows a Chinese leader is not in a prominent position without contacting the public,"" Luo Le, a Beijing-based sports commentator, told the Global Times on Friday.
Xi and Cameron watched a training match and met players who helped build the city's soccer legacy cheap nike air max 95 , including former United captain Gary Neville and ex-City stars Patrick Vieira and Mike Summerbee. They also met Denis Law, who scored 171 goals for United during the 1960s and 1970s, but who famously scored a goal to relegate the club after transferring to City.
""The trip once again shows the significance attached by Xi on soccer development in China. However, it should be noted that Chinese soccer clubs cannot rise to fame by simply copying the experience of the famous League club nike air max 95 ireland , which won its honors based on a resourceful soccer talent pools and a training system that honed their skills,"" Beijing-based soccer pundit Zhang Lu told the Global Times on Friday.
Zhang stressed that China's soccer development still relies on popularization of soccer as a sport to lay the foundation for future development.
Xi and Cameron also toured the National Football Museum, where Xi inducted former City player Sun Jihai into the museum's Hall of Fame. Sun is the first Chinese player to score in the Premier League.
During lunch, the visiting president met around 200 business and civic leaders at Manchester Town Hall nike air max 90 womens ireland , where hundreds of organized British-based Chinese greeted his arrival.
Xi on Friday also visited the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester where Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co announced cooperation with the university to explore the uses of graphene, according to the official website of the university.
The project, designed to initially run for two years, will work to explore ways of using graphene's revolutionary applications in consumer electronics and mobile communication devices cheap nike air max 90 womens , according to the university website.
""Working with a leading global technology brand gives us the opportunity to take graphene from the lab to everyday products. We are looking forward to working with Huawei over the next couple of years to develop new materials for consumer electronics and mobile communication devices,"" said James Baker, graphene business director at the university.
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice and is the world's thinnest and most conductive material.
""China has made some achievements and breakthrough in graphene studies thanks to government support. With the exception of the existing online industries, China's economic development is in urgent need of a virtual economy nike air max 90 womens ,"" Lin Shisheng, an associate professor at Zhejiang University, said in an interview with news site people on Friday.
Lin added that the application of graphene can cover multiple aspects in communications and energy, leading to a new economic growth point for China.
