China's President Visits United States


Hu Jintao, China's president, will be coming to the United States for a four day visit. Many consider this to be the most important meeting between the United States and China to take place in 30 years. Topics that are going to be discussed between President Obama and President Hu will include human rights, trade, and North Korea's "nuclear activities." The growing size of China's army may also be discussed as it is something that the United States is worried about. President Hu is also expected to visit Chicago after his time in Washington D.C. Chinese and American relations have been improving over the course of the past 30 years, and trade has been an important part of that.

I think that is is great that the two countries are getting together to discuss issues that are very important. Hopefully relations between the two continue to grow positively over the following years. This meeting between the United States and China is a great example of globalization, though. It shows how dependent they are on each other and how without trade, neither would be as successful as they are otherwise. I believe that it is important for nations to work together to accomplish goals that not only affect the nations involved, but also nations around the world but at the same time taking into consideration the needs of other countries. If nations work well together, success could be found more easily. The chances of there ever being complete peace and cooperation among all nations is not very likely, but any efforts in that direction are good.
