Chinese Foreign Ministry announced Wednesday that President Xi Jinping will pay his first state visit to the United States from Sept. 22 to 25. The announcement has become a spotlight of world media.

BBC said the U.S. has confirmed Chinese President Xi Jinping will be given a state welcome when he visits in September.

The White House said Mr Xi would be hosted at the White House for a state dinner on 25 September.

It will be "an opportunity to expand US-China co-operation," said a spokesman, and to "address areas of disagreement constructively."

The Wall Street Journal focused on the climate change issue, saying President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping will add to earlier pledges to cut greenhouse-gas emissions with specific guidance on what the two countries will do at home to keep climate change at bay.

The United States and China announced Tuesday that cities, states and provinces in both countries would commit to taking parallel steps to address climate change.

CNN has noticed that grassy fashion trend has sprouted on people's heads in China.

"Sprouts, grass, and flowers are blossoming from Chinese people's heads -- and nobody quite knows why," it said.

We're referring, of course, to sprout hair clips -- a brand new Chinese fashion fad that seems to have grown organically out of the country's tourist spots, where men and women of all ages can be seen rocking the fake plastic plants.

The phenomenon has attracted international participants as well -- four Japanese college students happily posed with their newly purchased hair clips, telling CNN they had learned about the fashion trend in Japanese media.
