China's Xi Jinping Cancels Hillary Clinton Meeting Amid 'Tensions' -- The Telegraph
On what may be her final trip to China as America's top diplomat, Hillary Clinton failed to find any agreement over Syria or the South China Sea and saw her meeting with the country's next president cancelled.

My Comment: For the Chinese .... appearances is everything, and this snub says a lot.

These events are always scripted months in advance, the Chinese are making a point to the U.S. that aside from all the oratory, usual business is not going to the rule in future talks.
