The former president's younger daughter, graduated from high school on Sunday with her parents

Sasha Obama, the former president's younger daughter, graduated from high school on Sunday with her parents, Barack and Michelle Obama, and her sister Malia in attendance.

Her school, Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., posted a picture of her graduating class on Instagram and Facebook, showing Sasha, 18, in the second row from the back, fourth from the left. 
The Instagram post featured a quote from the 2019 commencement speaker, Sheila Johnson, plus congratulations.
"Life has never been about you or about me. Life and all that matters within it has always been about us. 
"Congratulations to the Class of 2019! We can’t wait to see the great things you will do!"
The Obamas' post-White House office in Washington did not respond to a message from USA TODAY seeking comment.
There were no media pictures of the event although other attendees apparently posted pictures on Instagram, which later disappeared.
The Obamas resisted talking about either of their daughters during their eight years in the White House, and have continued that practice since they left in 2017.
Traditionally, the media avoid photographing White House children who are under age 18 unless they are in public with their parents. As a result, there have not been many "authorized" pictures of either Obama daughter in recent years. (A high school graduation is considered a "private" event.)
But that hasn't stopped "unauthorized" pictures from going viral, including last month when Sasha attended her senior prom.
After leaving the White House, the Obamas moved into a house in Washington so that Sasha could finish high school at Sidwell, the private Quaker-run school that Malia, 20, also attended, along with other children of prominent Washingtonians over the years, including Chelsea Clinton.
According to reports, Sasha is headed to the University of Michigan in the fall. Malia, who turns 21 on July 4, is to start her third year at Harvard in the fall. 
Sasha turned 18 on Monday.

Historical contacts between leaders of China and U.S

Since the establishment of diplomatic ties on January 1, 1979, the China-U.S. relationship has been moving forward steadily despite some twists and turns.  In January 1979, then Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping visited the U.S., opening a new page in China-U.S. relations.  Among the U.S. presidents who have traveled to China,  George W. Bush, the son of George W.H. Bush  and the 43rd U.S. president, visited China the most. In recent years, high-level exchanges of visits have been frequent between the two countries. Jiang Zemin and George W. Bush are at the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shanghai, October 2001. /Photo from china-embassy.org  In November 2009, then U.S. President Barack Obama paid a state visit to China, while Chinese President Hu Jintao reciprocated the gesture in a state visit to the U.S. in 2011.
