  • In October 1986, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh made a historic visit to the People's Republic of China. Beginning the tour in the capital of Peking (Beijing), the Queen and the Duke were welcomed by presdient Li Xiannian and a parade on Tiananmen Square. Over the following days, the pair visited the Forbidden City in Beijing's Dongcheng District and were treated to a banquet hosted by President Li. ITN's cameras caught Queen Elizabeth II's warm meeting with Deng Xiaoping, the country's unofficial but undisputed leader credited with building modern China by reforming its society and opening up its economy.
    Visits to the Great Wall of China and the port city of Shanghai saw the Queen greeted by adoring crowds; in Shanghai the monarch visited the historic Huxinting Teahouse with Sir Geoffrey Howe. Later that day, the Queen and the Duke invited President Li and his wife onto the Royal Yacht Britannia for a banquet. During a particularly amusing photocall, the president's wife told him to straighten his glasses before the Queen jokingly informed him that he was allowed to smile for the cameras. The archaeological wonder of the Terracotta Army in Shaanxi Province was of great interest to Prince Philip, and the Queen and Duke enjoyed a boat trip on Lake Dianchi before ending their trip in Canton.

    I cannot help wondering whether the Queen cringed inside when watching the children dancing like trained robots, one even danced with a plastic garbage bin at her back, though it doesn’t show on her face at all. The translator dressed perfectly for that time. - as a Chinese person grew up during that time and now a citizen of the commonwealth , it now feels so exotic yet familiar at the same time to watch these footage.

    Apparently the british didn't cared much about China at the time. The narrator pronounced Chairman Li Xian Nian's name as something like "Li Xianyang", and later called a Chinese Red Flag limo a "Red Star", talking about rigorous jounalism... Wonder how much has changed, perhaps not a lot.

    funny how this video showd 3 leaders of china, but none was the president li xiannian.
    the three leaders are: deng xiaoping, just like what the commentator said, has no tittle at that time, but was the real paramount leader.
    hu yaobang, at that tims was the party leader.
    and jiang zeming, at that time was the party secretary of Shanghai city. 5 yrs later, he will becam the paramount leader of china.
    on the other hand, president li was never had any real power. he was chosen to be president mostly because seniority.
