FILE - In this photo released by Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping, center, general secretary of the Communist Party of China talks to sailors onboard the Haikou navy destroyer during his inspection of the Guangzhou military theater of operations of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Guangzhou, China on Dec. 8, 2012.
