Another good photo. Notice if there is no Putin, the O gets stand on Xi's right.
Also of the photo below with Putin, Xi, his wife, and O, did you notice the credit?
The Chinese .... if they want to be .... are great hosts. They know where to put everyone so that no one feels uncomfortable.

Oh yeah the credit for that photo "Credit: Reuters/Mikhail Klimentyev/RIA Novosti/Kremlin"
