The most important news this week, or at least the one with the most focus, has been the visit of China's president in the U.S.A. The meeting was supposed to help building a better relationship between the two super powers in order for them to work togheter to address commen concerns like the global environmental issues.















"We now have normal relations, frequent exchanges and intensive coordination. This visit will build on very sound basis and provide a clear direction for the future. It will give our people great hope and the rest of world reassurance that China and the U.S. will work together to address common concerns."
