President Obama welcomed Chinese leader Hu Jintao with great affection and fanfare and reminding everyone that both nations have an enormous stake in each others success.Today President Obama invited many corporate leaders such as the Chief Executive Officers from Microsoft Corp, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, General Electric, Boeing., Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical, Lenovo Group LTD. to meet with the Chinese leader. The visit will touch on many contentious issues such as North Korea, Iran, international trade, China's currency policy, and finally human rights. The real unanswered question is what does the U.S. expect to gain from this high profile visit and lavish praise on the Chinese leader?
We have been down this road before and have gotten nothing in return. One only has to look to last year's trip to China and the president's disastrous Asian Summit in November. The president's foreign policy has always more about rhetoric than any substantial substance to his foreign policy initiatives.
Only time will tell from this U.S.-Chinese Summit.http://militarybriefingbook.com/browse.cfm?category=Asia&subcategory=China
