LONDON -- China's Vice President Wang Qishan is expected to attend the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, but the invitation to Beijing has drawn rebuke from British politicians who have been vocal critics of alleged Chinese repression.
Wang's planned visit was first reported by British and Hong Kong media. Chinese President Xi Jinping was on the guest list for the state funeral, according to the BBC, but it appears Xi is sending his longtime ally in his place.
