HONG KONG (Reuters) - When Chinese leader Xi Jinping met U.S. President Barack Obama at the "Sunnylands Summit" in California in June, Xi's aides peppered their American counterparts with questions about the inner workings of the National Security Council (NSC) in the White House.

Just months later, Xi has announced the creation of a Chinese version of the body, to be called the national security commission, and said it was a "top priority".
