Gary Dvorchak’s move to China in 2013 was not random, as his family impacted Xi Jinping’s early career. Xi visited Gary’s hometown in Iowa in 1985, leading a delegation studying agriculture. During three days in Gary’s hometown, his parents hosted Xi, and he slept in Gary’s bedroom! In April 2015, Xi warmly welcomed Gary’s parents on a visit to China. The family was honored with a private, two-hour dinner with the First Family. Xi really does consider his hosts old friends.
