Cleverly officially visited China on Wednesday, and successively met with Chinese vice chairman Han Zheng in Beijing and Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China.Cleverly visited China at the end of July, but was postponed due to the unknown situation of Qin Gang, the former foreign minister of China.
