Xi gifts a vision of modern China

A national gift is often a treasure or something iconic like an Argentine soccer jersey such as one worn by Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. What would President Xi Jinping give Argentina? Neither silk, nor porcelain nor a panda, but a glimpse into modern Chinese life as shown in three Chinese movies and TV series.

"Even I didn't expect that President Xi would sign the copies and give them as national gifts to Argentina's vice-president," said Chi Yufeng, chairman of Perfect Pictures, which produced the three plays.

Xi is on a trip in South America.
