Theresa May with some Chinese soldiers, and Trump with a lot.

Theresa May is currently on her first state visit to China, where she hopes to strengthen the UK and China's "golden era" of trade relations.

So far she's met students in Wuhan, a university town in central China, had tea with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and taken part in a traditional Chinese New Year celebration in Beijing.

But this is nothing compared to Donald Trump's visit to China - dubbed a "state visit-plus" - where he was treated to the most spectacular display of diplomacy in the country's history.

See for yourself in the photos below.
