 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping was able to take in views Friday night of the natural beauty that Alaska has to offer. The state's governor hopes this will lead to an increased appetite in the world's most populous nation for more natural resources from Alaska. 
  
 Xi requested time with Gov. Bill Walker Friday night as the Chinese delegation's plane made a refueling stop in Alaska's largest city following meetings with President Donald Trump in Florida. His wife and the Chinese delegation stepped off the Boeing 747 and were greeted by Walker, his wife and several dignitaries. 
  
 Later, the two men spoke briefly to reporters before a business meeting, in which Walker touted the state's abundant natural resources: oil, fish, air cargo, mineral resources industries. 
  
 Walker also took time to advocate for a natural gas pipeline he has long backed, which would take natural gas from Alaska's North Slope to the coast for shipment. 
  
 Alaska could provide a generation's worth of liquefied natural gas to China, he told Xi. 
  
 For Walker, even just a few hours of time with the president of China can pay dividends. 
  
 China is the state's top export market, buying nearly $1.2 billion worth of goods in 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The next top international market was Japan, at nearly $820 million, followed by South Korea, at $730 million. 
  
 Chris Hladick, the commissioner of the state's Commerce department, called the visit by the Chinese delegation a "once-in-a lifetime opportunity." 
  
 The state's top export product to China? Fish, accounting for 58 percent. Frozen cod and flat fish, such as halibut, topped a lengthy list of fisheries products, which also included frozen salmon and pollock. 
  
 Jerry McCune is president of the United Fishermen of Alaska. He said he understood the trade talk would focus mostly on oil and gas, but added: "I would say that any trade that we can boost in the fishery with any particular county, China would be one that would be huge." 
  
 Jeremy Woodrow, a spokesman for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, said the Chinese market is important to Alaska for two reasons: it purchases a huge amount of Alaska fish for re-exporting purposes around the world, and Chinese consumers are now buying more seafood for consumption at home. 
  
 "Wild, sustainable, healthy, clean, —those type of attributes that you can put on Alaska seafood are becoming much more desirable for the Chinese consumer, and we're seeing year after year, more Alaska seafood products actually staying in China for Chinese consumption" he said. 
  
 A distant second on the export list are minerals and ores, accounting for 27 percent. Included in that last year was about $130 million of precious metals, which Hladick said was likely gold from the Fairbanks area. 
  
 Hladick sees China as a potential market for Alaska coal and hoped to raise the issue with Chinese officials during their visit. "It's meetings like this that spark interest and then you follow up," Hladick said. 
  
 The state's only operating coal mine is the Usibelli Coal Mine near Denali National Park and Preserve, and it provides 100 percent of the coal needs to Alaska's six coal-burning power plants. 
  
 The company previously shipped coal to Chile, South Korea and Japan, but has no foreign export contracts this year. 
  
 "The only way for us to expand as a company is on the export market," said spokeswoman Lorali Simon. 
  
 Xi didn't discuss trade, but did tell reporters how much he enjoyed his short sightseeing tour of Anchorage, including a stop at Beluga Point, a pullout on the scenic Seward Highway about 15 miles south of Anchorage. 
  
 The pullout offers a stunning view of the snow-capped Chugach Mountains and Turnagain Arm in Alaska's Cook Inlet. The waters are home to the endangered Beluga whale. 
  
 This wasn't his first trip to Alaska, he said, but it was his first opportunity to see a little bit of the state's natural beauty up close. 
  
 Xi is the second major world leader to spend time in Alaska's largest city in the last few years. U.S. President Barack Obama used a three-day trip to Anchorage in 2015 to showcase the impact of climate change. King Harald V of Norway also made an official visit to Anchorage a few months before Obama. 
  
 Alaska's location provides a natural stopping point for world leaders to make refueling stops, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage has hosted many presidents over the years for these short stints. 
  
 President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II met in 1984 during refueling stops at the airport in Fairbanks. Their paths were crossing as one finished and one began trips to Asia.

Bill Walker, and taking in a sightseeing moment in Turnagain Arm before returning to the sky again in his Boeing 747 for the journey back to Beijing. 
  
 Xi's rest stop in Anchorage broke up his trip home following meetings with President Donald Trump at Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club in Florida and an earlier visit to Finland. 
  
 The Alaska stop underscored the significance of the Arctic to China's long-term economic interests. For the Alaskans, trade and one of the governor's pet causes — a liquefied natural gas export project aimed at Asian markets — was at the top of the agenda. 
  
 An Asian head of state stopping to refuel in Alaska on a return trip from the Lower 48 is not particularly remarkable. But Xi, celebrity first lady Peng Liyuan and more than a dozen officials took the unusual step of motorcading from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to spend several hours in Anchorage. 
  
 Xi's plane, a modified Air China 747-400, landed in Anchorage at 6:45 p.m. With a few hours of daylight to spare, the itinerary for the Chinese leader and his entourage included a drive down the Seward Highway to Beluga Point, the scenic lookout along Turnagain Arm where authorities on Friday were still searching for a man who fired a series of gunshots before inexplicably disappearing. 
  
 Xi's 24-vehicle motorcade left the airport at 7:12 p.m. The motorcade included SUVs, vans and an ambulance and dozens of guests. Some of the vehicles had lights flashing. 
  
 The entourage reached Beluga Point about 7:35 p.m. A swarm of people from the motorcade got out to gawk at the beautiful scenery, then got back in their vehicles, turned around, and returned to Anchorage about 7:50 p.m.

Bill Walker, stopped for 15 minutes at Beluga Point, a scenic viewing point just south of Anchorage, Friday, April 7, 2017. (Tegan Hanlon / Alaska Dispatch News) Wait 1 second to continue. 
  
 Earlier in the day, authorities announced the Seward Highway would be shut down in both directions between 7 and 7:30 p.m. The shutdown was announced by the Anchorage Police Department and Alaska State Troopers as only a mysterious "event," which had the uninformed guessing madly about what was up. The two entrances to the Beluga Point turnout was closed with traffic cones at 6:20 p.m., with troopers ordering everyone, including reporters and news photographers, to leave. 
  
 Two well-dressed Asian men wearing earpieces and smoking cigarettes walked around the turnout. One of the men told a reporter he didn't speak English. 
  
 The weather was nearly perfect for tourism, with the temperature about 40 degrees and the sky mostly blue and sunny. 
  
 As it turned out, the highway was closed from about 7:30 to 7:50 p.m. 
  
 At the Hotel Captain Cook, Walker and Xi held a brief session in public, a slightly longer private meeting and then had dinner at the top-floor Crow's Nest featuring Alaska seafood — Kachemak Bay oysters with honeydew, crab bisque and Alaska king salmon. 
  
 Aside from Bill Walker and his wife, Donna, Alaska guests included Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott and his wife, Toni, and Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz and his wife, Mara Kimmel. 
  
 With dinner over, Xi, his wife and his entourage returned to the motorcade and got back to the airport after 10 p.m. Their 747 took off at 10:47 p.m. 
  
 The governor used his brief time with Xi to make a strong pitch for the gas export project and acknowledged China's status as the state's largest trade partner. Xi assured Walker that China's government is paying close attention to trade and liquefied natural gas resources in Alaska. 
  
 Xi, who had never been to Alaska, said he has flown over the state many times and has always wanted to visit. 
  
 "He called it a mythical, almost mystical place for the Chinese, like a Shangri-La," said Grace Jang, spokeswoman for the governor. 
  
 The Chinese government notified Walker's office last month that Xi would be flying through Anchorage and requested a meeting between the Chinese president and the governor, according to a statement from Walker's office. 
  
 Unlike Xi's visit to Mar-a-Lago, which was widely publicized well in advance of his arrival, his Alaska stop was kept under wraps until earlier this week. Media outlets needing security credentials were asked to maintain an embargo on the story until the wheels of Xi's plane touched down. The Chinese government, which is famously press-averse, requested that even the reason for secrecy be kept confidential, Jang said. 
  
 Like the United States, China is aggressive about securing natural resources to fuel its economy. In recent years, it has eclipsed neighbor Japan as Alaska's largest trading partner. The state exported seafood, minerals, oil and other products valued at just under $1.2 billion to China in 2016. 
  
 Chris Hladick, Walker's commerce commissioner, said he was "excited" about the opportunity to "discuss possible partnerships" with China's commerce minister, Zhong Shan, in natural resources, tourism, air cargo and other sectors. 
  
 The Chinese government released no explanation for the stop in Alaska, but the country has been frank about its interest in Arctic affairs and the region's economic promise as melting sea ice exposes new shipping routes, fishing grounds and rich deposits of oil, gas and minerals. China is an observer nation to the Arctic Council, a diplomatic body chaired by the United States until next month, when Finland takes over the rotating chairmanship. 
  
 In Finland, Xi vowed to enhance the two countries' cooperation in Arctic affairs, according to Reuters, and engaged in some "Panda Diplomacy," agreeing to send a pair of the country's telegenic national megafauna to Finland. 
  
 "China goes to considerable lengths to demonstrate its connection with the Arctic," said John Higgenbotham, a senior fellow at both Carleton University and the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Ontario, Canada. "It calls the Tibetan Plateau the world's 'Third Pole' and refers to itself as a 'near-Arctic country.' " 
  
 China pushed hard for observer status on the Arctic Council, an international forum devoted to regional governance, economics, science and other issues. Observers are not allowed into the closed-door meetings of the eight Arctic countries that form the council's core membership, but they do have a chance to make their views known. China also participates in scientific research throughout the Arctic and recently commissioned its second ice-breaking vessel. 
  
 The last prominent head of state to visit Alaska was President Barack Obama in August 2015. His administration sought to use Alaska as a backdrop to draw attention to climate change, one of his administration's signature issues. The Chinese government had also been partnering with the Obama administration on curbing emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change. 
  
 The Alaska stop fulfills other goals for Xi's domestic political agenda. As he faces a Party Congress, where his political faction of the Chinese Community Party faces challenges, the stop gives Xi an opportunity to present himself as a forward-looking, economically innovative leader and highlight China's omnipresence in world affairs. 
  
 "China is becoming more and more influential in different ways and has great resources and the will to become a multidimensional superpower," Higgenbotham said. "Being active in the Arctic is very important to them." |||||

China's President Xi Jinping followed up what President Trump called a "tremendous" summit with a look at some of Alaska's tremendous views. Xi made a surprise stop in Anchorage late Friday on his way back to Beijing from the US. The leader and his entourage went from the airport to the scenic lookout at Beluga Point before heading to Anchorage for a seafood dinner and a meeting with Gov. Bill Walker, reports the Alaska Dispatch News, which notes that while it is not unusual for planes carrying Asian heads of state to refuel in Anchorage, it is rare for a leader to leave the airport and spent several hours in the city. Walker's office says the meeting was set up last month, but Chinese officials wanted it kept quiet until Xi arrived. China is Alaska's top export market and the visit was seen as an indication of the scale of China's resource ambitions in the region, reports the Los Angeles Times. Fish accounted for more than half of the state's $1.2 billion in exports to China last year, the AP notes, and Walker reportedly told Xi that Alaska could supply his country with "a generation's worth" of liquefied natural gas. A Walker spokeswoman says Xi wanted to visit Alaska after flying over it many times. "He called it a mythical, almost mystical place for the Chinese, like a Shangri-La," the spokeswoman says.
