Friday

Traditionally, the relationship between China and the UK has been a difficult one. But could that be changing, partly as a result of China's extreme wealth?

Here's a report from BBC Chinese Service reporter Vincent Ni.

China's President Xi Jinping addressed both Houses of Parliament at Westminster earlier, quoting 'What's past is prologue' from Shakespeare's The Tempest, and emphasising the need for countries to ''forge ahead together''.

Some more detail from Jeremy Corbyn's meeting with President Xi from the Press Assocation's Laura Elston and Joe Churcher:

"The pair shook hands cordially with Mr Corbyn placing his other hand on top and telling Mr Xi: "It's very nice to meet you. I look forward to our meeting." 

"Mr Corbyn introduced his small delegation to the Communist leader including shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn and shadow business secretary Angela Eagle, who also shook hands with Mr Xi. 

"The Labour leader and the president took their seats in identical chairs as Mr Xi began speaking at length through an interpreter, telling Mr Corbyn: "It is indeed a great pleasure to meet you". 

"He expressed his congratulations to Mr Corbyn on his election as Labour leader and said "We stand ready to work together with Britain" on financial matters and on friendship."

How do the Chinese view UK politicians? BBC Monitoring's Kerry Allen has been taking a look. 

Here's more from the Labour Party on Jeremy Corbyn's meeting with President Xi. A statement says the Labour leader and Mr Xi discussed:

• The history of links between the UK, the Labour Party and China
• The "remarkable" Chinese achievements in poverty reduction lifting over 600 million people out of poverty and the lessons for the world agenda on human development
• Xi Jinping’s New Silk Road strategy, the "largest infrastructure project devised", which aims to "improve connectivity from China across Eurasia" and other opportunities for economic and trade co-operation
• Working together to address "major threats to world security such as climate change, persistent economic inequality and international terrorism"
• Climate change
• Cultural and people-to people exchanges between China and the UK

The statement adds:

Labour says party leader Jeremy Corbyn's meeting with Chinese President Xi was "cordial and constructive".

One of the big events of the day so far was President Xi's address at the Royal Gallery in Parliament. He told MPs he believed this week's visit will lift UK-China relations to a "new height".

And he said the UK and China are becoming more interdependent and a "community of shared interests,"

Anti-China protesters and pro-Beijing supporters are still arriving at Buckingham Palace as the sun sets. President Xi is due there shortly. 

Away from the official engagements of the day, there has been discussion about Chinese steel subsidies and the impact they are having on the UK steel industry. Earlier Tata Steel announced nearly 1,200 job losses at its plants in Scunthorpe and Lanarkshire - and some are blaming the impact of Chinese dumping.

Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged to raise the issue with President Xi. Carrie Gracie, the BBC's China editor, says the Chinese delegation will have been "made aware" of British concerns, but it remains to be seen if they will respond. 

It's been a busy first full day of President Xi's visit, and it's not over yet. Click here for a picture gallery of the events so far. Here's a small selection:
