The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, recently presented the “Golden State Warriors” basketball team’s jersey to China’s President Xi Jinping. According to China’s AGN official representative, Hu Chunying, this exchange took place during a meeting between Governor Newsom and President Xi in Beijing last month. The AGN representative shared this information and published two photos on their social media account. In one of the photos, we can see President Xi holding the iconic blue jersey of the basketball team, accompanied by Governor Newsom and his wife, all smiling.

President Xi Jinping is known to be a sports enthusiast. He enjoys various sports such as swimming, volleyball, basketball, and tennis. Despite football being the most popular sport in China, with a significant following among the country’s residents, the chairman of the political executive has a preference for basketball and tennis. He has even attended basketball games during his visits within China.
