China is sending Vice President Han Zheng to US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday - the first time a senior Chinese leader will witness a US president being sworn in.
Trump had invited Chinese President Xi Jinping, among other leaders - a break with tradition given foreign leaders usually do not attend US presidential inaugurations.
China has said it wants to work with the new US government to "find the right way for the two countries to get along with each other in the new era".
