President Nelson Mandela will pay a state visit to China from May 5 to 7 at the invitation of President Jiang Zemin, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said on Tuesday. Sun said China worked with the international community in the "just struggle of the South African people against apartheid."
