As a fan, President Xi Jinping never hides his love for soccer.
Visiting Vice President Xi met with Beckham after watching a Lakers game in Los Angeles in February 2012 and received a T-shirt with Beckham’s signature on it. Xi said he was a fan of Beckham.
Will Beckham who has shifted his work and life to America happen to be in the UK during Xi’s visit? We will wait and see.
