Obama visits China

This Saturday President Obama vistited China for the first time. While he is there he will be discussing a variety of world matters with China's Paramount Leader Hu Jinato. Although diplomatic relations are forming between The United States and China the two have different views on basically every front. One of the most pressing matters that will be discussed is the supposed climate change. Both countries are world leaders in fighting global warming and reducing the amount of C02 emitted into the atmosphere;however, China is in a much more critical state than the U.S. In many cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong it is impossible to even see the sky on some days because of the pollution. Another topic to be talked about is North Korea's development of nuculear weapons. Although china has decided to be against the development of the weapons the are not being nearly as aggressive or assertive as the U.S. would like them to be. Also, the two will be discussing the current financial situation between the two countries. China is the holder of the most U.S. debt. This debt is one of the major causes of tension between the two countries. The two leaders will be discussing different methods of payment, long term payments and possibly taking another loan. Many worry that this could cause problems in the future not only financial or economically but possibly military conflicts. China currently has the largest standing army with over 3 million men;however., numbers mean nothing when the other country has nuculear bombs. In comparison, the Chinese military is like a man who is 6 foot 9 inches and weighs 230 pounds and is holding a knife. The United States military is a man who is 5 feet tall and weighs 170 pounds but is holding a gun. If you would like more information on President Obama's trip to china than visit www.yahoo.com
