President Obama plans China trip
US President Barack Obama is planning a visit to China in November. Topics planned to be discussed are the global economy, North Korea and climate change. Washington's new envoy to Beijing, Jon Huntsman Jr., told reporters Obama "is going to be visiting in the middle of November," but he did not give specific dates.
"By the end of the year, we should be in better shape than ever before between the United States and China," he said, in a speech that switched between English and fluent Mandarin Chinese.
China has chided Washington for policy failings exposed by the financial meltdown, has resisted US calls to pressure Pyongyang with tougher sanctions, and said rich countries must lead the way in greenhouse gas emissions cuts.
