President Barack Obama welcomed Chinese President Hu Jintao to the White House on Wednesday with full honors, a red carpet and a color guard. But the two leaders wasted no time in delivering pointed messages to each other at the start of daylong meetings to address trade, security and human rights issues that have been the cause of past strain between the two powers. Obama said each country had an enormous stake in the other's future, and he then referenced human rights.For his part, Hu said the relationship between the two powers should be based on "mutual respect," with each country respecting the other's core interests and choices of development paths — suggesting limits to how far the U.S. can push China on issues from currency to human rights.
I think the United States needs to keep a stong relationship with China. China is huge compition to the United States because it's so powerful. But we need them because they have cheap labor and produce i ton of products for America.
This has to do with government because if our relationship with China ended our economy would be in trouble and the government is responsible for the outcome of this meeting.
I agree. If Obama blows things with China, our economy will never pull out of this resession. I don't think that we have any right to tell China how to run there country though. But we need to have a trade agreement with them so that we can profit off of their products and resources. China has a good economy, so we could probably benefit from what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Over half of our products are "Made in China" so losing our relationship with them would be like economic suicide. We need to keep the relationship strong, and not be bossing other countries around just because we are the United States. Other countries are in charge of themselves. Unless we feel like spiraling downward into another Great depression, I suggest keeping everything the same.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We do not need to be on China's bad side. I think it's good how we're trying to keep our relationship with China strong. China contributes to us and we contribute to them. No offense to the US, but we kinda need China.
ReplyDeleteI agree. we shouldn't want to get on there bad side. Let's just try and keep our relationship the we do have with them.
ReplyDeleteI think it is good that we communicate with China and try to keep a strong relationship. China has a big impact on the US. Just about everything we get is from China. I think that if we did not trade with China our economy would be in worse shape.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true and we do need to keep our relationship with China very strong because of the labor that they supply. But we always need to keep a close lookout on China because they can at anytime pull a slick cheap move on America and then will be in a deep hole that we cant get out of. Im not saying we cant trust China its just that I have a funny feeling about them.
ReplyDeletei agree and think its a good idea for us to keep a good relationship with china. i do think that we need them and they need us too. i mean a majority of our products are made in china so yeah, what would we do without them ?
