LIVE: Chinese President Xi Jinping Begins State Visit in Brasilia, Meets President Lula

Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Brasilia on Wednesday caps a diplomatic blitz across South America that has shown Beijing's growing clout in the region and at global forums where it filled a gap left by the U.S. presidential transition. Xi and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are expected to sign agreements boosting trade and cooperation across sectors from agribusiness to energy and aerospace during morning meetings at the presidential residence in Brasilia. The accords between the major developing economies with some $180 billion of bilateral trade come after twin summits for Xi in one week - the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima and then the Group of 20 major economies in Rio de Janeiro.
