Barack Obama will meet with China leader  President Hu Jintao on his tour of Asia and many believe it is the most important leg of the tour. China, the growing power with over a billion citizens is viewed by the U,S, as a country that must be dealt with on a number of issues, from trade to economic issues China is always part of the discussion.

Asia accounts for half of the global economy. China has invested over 1 trillion dollars in the U.S. debt, helping to keep our economy from going down the tubes. 

China also was able to dodge the financial crisis going on in many parts of the world, it did not invest in derivative financial products connected to the housing bubble, this has left China very strong financially.

"One of my most important tasks is to continue to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Asia," Obama said in a pre-trip interview.

Obama will meet with Chinese leaders, tour the Great Wall and hold a town hall meeting with Chinese youngsters during a three-day stay.

Obama hopes to enlist China's help in thwarting nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea, and its cooperation on a new climate treaty whose outlines are due to be agreed on next month in Copenhagen.

Barack Obama will be in Tokyo Japan on Friday.

    Obama is a Communist. Here's the proof: www.commieblaster.com/obama/index.html

    And his close associate and ghost book author, Bill Ayers, has long thought that after a Communist Takeover of America occurs, that China should lay claim to portions of America. See the videos here: www.commieblaster.com/bill_ayers/index.html

    So maybe Obama and his Communist White Team (www.commieblaster.com/socialist_czars/index.html) will be privately discussing the Takeover of America.

    I hope Obama can help change their ways because how they treats dogs and humans is despicable.

    I have visited China...and I'm not a fan of how they treat people or animals!
