Xi invited 100 Lincoln students to visit China next year. Xi brought books and ping-pong balls and tables as gifts. He had visited the Lincoln High School in Tacoma in 1993 when he was the Party chief of Fuzhou, the capital of East China's Fujian province, and helped establish a sister-city relationship between Fuzhou and Tacoma.
