Chinese President Hu Jintao is heading to the United States this week for the first state visit to the White House since 1997. Will the leaders of the two largest economies come to any conclusions?
President Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama at the White House this week put further strain on the Sino/US relationship. Beijing reacted angrily to the closed-doors meeting, by saying it had "seriously harmed" relations and summoning the American ambassador in Beijing to protest.
