Trump Invites Chinese President Xi Jinping to Inauguration Ceremony

According to various sources, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the inauguration ceremony scheduled for next month. However, Xi's attendance would be unprecedented: no Chinese leader has ever attended the U.S. presidential inauguration, which is typically attended by ambassadors. According to records from the Department of State dating back to 1874, no foreign head of state has participated in this ceremony for over a century.
