Michelle's China Trip: Pandas But No Politics

First Lady Michelle Obama has arrived in Beijing on a hotly anticipated trip that will promote education and avoid politics.

Mrs Obama, travelling without the US president, is accompanied with her two daughters and her mother.

Her schedule includes a meeting with China's First Lady, Peng Liyuan, a popular folk singer and the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Michelle Obama (L) and Peng Liyuan are style icons in their countries

Chinese media have compared the dress styles of the two women with side-by-side photos.

The newspaper China Daily devoted a full page on Thursday to their fashion choices.

Mrs Obama will also give a speech to Chinese and American students at Peking University.

She intends to avoid contentious issues such as human rights, trade and cyber-security, according to White House officials preparing the trip.

In Beijing, the First Lady and her family are to visit the imperial palace and Great Wall.

While in Xi'an, she plans to visit ancient city walls and the Terra Cotta Warriors Museum.

In Chendgu, she is set to visit a panda conservation centre.

Some observers believe her visit will help soften US-China relations through her soft power.

Others have criticised the use of public money, saying the week-long trip amounts to a family holiday.

The US has not said how much the trip will cost.
