Dutch journalist says Xi shows 'determination'

Dutch journalist and author Fokke Obbema still remembers how President Xi Jinping received him when visiting the Netherlands last year.

Obbema met Xi at a state banquet hosted by the Dutch royal family for Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan. He said Xi was friendly, though he looked a bit tired.

Xi's response to Obbema's English greeting was a firm Chinese ni hao.
