Xi Jinping jokes in the home of Roger and Sarah Lande in Muscatine on Thursday [AFP]

What was the man assumed to be the next leader of China doing in a living room in Muscatine, Iowa, and what does his visit have to do with the future of Sino-US ties? Al Jazeera's John Hendren explains.

It was probably the first protest ever to break out on the corner of 2nd and Spruce streets in Muscatine, Iowa.

On one side were students from as far away as Minnesota, chanting "Shame on China" and waving Tibetan flags.

Across the narrow residential street on Wednesday, the chanters were countered by Chinese young people, waving their own flag and singing nationalist songs.

The groups were divided by polite Iowa state troopers who occasionally urged them to remain on the sidewalk. Curious Muscatine residents took in the spectacle.
