Former French Premier Dominique de Villepin visits China

EXCLUSIVE. Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin takes a stroll in a centuries-old hutong, or traditional street, by the wall of the Imperial College, in Beijing, China, on August 31, 2010. Hutongs are traditional streets sometimes dating back to the foundation on Beijing. The Imperial College was the highest institute of learning in Imperial China, during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Only walls belonging to Imperial buildings could use this special tone of red, called 'Forbidden City red'. Dominique de Villepin is in China for a 6-day visit. He will inaugurate an engraving of one of his poem both in Chinese and French in a park, and take part in the World Emerging Industries Summit, and the North-East Asia trade Exposition.
