Here's Xi Jinping, the president of China. This week, he is leading his country’s first state visit to the UK in 10 years.
While here in the UK, he'll be meeting politicians who may or may not mention human rights concerns.
Despite calls for prime minister David Cameron to raise concerns over China's abuses, the president has stated that he is not in the UK to "debate" his country's record.
China has been heavily criticised for its "systematic curbing" of fundamental rights, including freedom of expression, association, assembly, and religion.
Some expect Cameron to bring up the issues, particularly as George Osborne avoided mentioning them at all when he visited China last month. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn – who many expect will confront Xi over the countries human rights record when he attends a state banquet on Tuesday – was told by Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to Britain, that he should "know how to behave."
"I think the British people are very gentlemen[ly], very smart," Liu added. "They know how to behave on occasions like this."
During Xi's visit, he'll also spend some time with the royal family. For three days, he will be staying at Buckingham Palace with his wife, Peng Liyuan, who's a Chinese contemporary folk singer.
On Tuesday, Xi and Peng will meet with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and receive a ceremonial welcome. Xi will be given a royal salute while the Chinese national anthem is performed.
They'll also join them to have tea and lunch, view a display by the Prince's School for Traditional Arts, and meet students.
If that wasn't enough excitement for one visit, he'll also be spending time with the Duke of York and the chancellor for a visit to Imperial College London on Wednesday. Later that day, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will join them for a creative industry event at Lancaster House.
During Xi's visit, Prince William will discuss the illegal ivory trade in a speech that will be broadcast on Chinese state TV.
In February, China imposed a one-year ban on the import of ivory after Chinese consumers were accused of fuelling poaching in Africa.
Of course, a large number of people are not particularly impressed by the president's visit. A number of protests are planned in the city against China's poor human rights record.
On Tuesday, human rights campaigners will protest in St James's Park, Westminster, while Xi greets royals.
Amnesty International say that Jinping's leadership has done little to curb human rights violations in China. They plan to hold placards in both Chinese and English criticising its crackdown on human rights lawyers and activists.
"His government has ratcheted up censorship of the internet, clamped down on civil society, increased its ideological controls over the media and academia, and launched several large-scale crackdowns on human rights defenders, lawyers, and activists," a spokesperson for Amnesty International said.
A rival 'Pro-China' protest is planned to happen at the same location.
Cameron has praised the new "golden era" in British-Chinese relations, but stressed that closer links will not damage the UK’s relationship with the US, which remains wary of China.
A number of politicians and campaigners fear that UK security will be at risk if plans to give China a stake in Britain's nuclear power industry go ahead. Senior military and intelligence figures told the Times the move would pose "a threat to national security".
The mood is in sharp contrast to China's relationship with the US. In September, Barack Obama threatened sanctions against China after tensions arose over security and cyber attack issues between the two nations.
Meanwhile, Xi Jinping has one big thing to tick off his list: fish and chips.
The Chinese president has reportedly requested the dish for lunch during his visit. This news excited locals in Manchester, who want to take Xi to their best local fish and chip spot and tourist attractions.
"The Chinese are desperate to order fish and chips," a source told the Sunday Times. "They've asked about it repeatedly."
