(UPDATE) HANOI: China's President Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Tuesday for his first visit in six years, as he seeks to counter the United States' growing influence over the communist nation.

Xi was set to meet Nguyen Phu Trong, the leader of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party, after Hanoi upgraded diplomatic ties with Washington when US President Joe Biden visited in September.
