President Donald Trump is kicking off the busiest portion of his three-day visit to China. It's a trip that may end up focusing more on pageantry and symbolism than major bilateral breakthroughs. He's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday. They will have a formal bilateral discussion and later, a state banquet. On Friday, the pair plans a working tea and lunch before Trump leaves Beijing. They're expected to talk about trade, U.S. relations with Taiwan, and the war in Iran, though neither side is promising major progress.

Christie's says a 5.5-carat triangular-cut diamond billed as the largest fancy vivid blue-green diamond known to exist has sold for more than 13.5 million Swiss francs or $17.3 million. The auction house said it was a record for a stone of its kind sold at auction. The “Ocean Dream” was the standout offer at the auction house’s Geneva sale of jewelry on Wednesday. It was found in Central Africa in the 1990s. The price easily topped the presale estimate to fetch 7-10 million francs or around $9-13 million. The buyer was an unspecified private collector.
