China's Xi arrives Monday for high-level policy meetings
The Hill ^ | 2/2/12 | Vicki Needham

Posted on 02/12/2012 6:55:05 PM PST by ColdOne

The expected future leader of China will land in Washington on Monday for a week of high-profile meetings with top Obama administration officials and U.S. business leaders to discuss trade, human rights and security issues.

Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, who is expected to take over leadership of China in March 2013, will meet with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and will head over to the Pentagon to meet with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, all on Tuesday.

The 58-year-old Xi heads up to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to meet with congressional leaders before leaving for Iowa, a state he visited as a government official on a trip in 1985, for meetings on agricultural policy.

In the final stop of the trip, Xi travels to Los Angeles for at two-day visit to meet with city and state officials, including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Gov. Jerry Brown (D). Biden will head out to meet back up with Xi for final meetings before he returns to China.

Xi may even try to fit in a Los Angeles Lakers game — the team and basketball are popular in China.

No major policy decisions are expected during the week-long visit — a reciprocal trip following Biden's tour of China in August — although discussion of key issues will continue regarding a broad range of economic and trade issues along with regional and global developments, as part of maintaining a close relationship.

Another opportunity for the Won to show his arrogance and ignorance.

There will be no one in any of those meetings who will be looking out for the best interests of the United States.

Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, who is expected to take over leadership of China in March 2013, will meet with President 'Obama',... Vice President Joe 'Biden',... Secretary of State Hillary 'Clinton'.... and will head over to the Pentagon to meet with... Defense Secretary Leon 'Panetta', all on Tuesday.

Well now it seems our Chinese dictators have managed to coral "ALL" our top officials to 'come hither'.

When was the last Internantional Leader given the complete attention of the top dogs of our administration in one setting.....?????

Obam, Hillary, Biden, Panetta..

China said jump...they said how high

.....I don't recall any International Leadership meeting with them all in one setting. Looks to me like China's calling all the shots now....you just don't get all the top dogs in one meeting as this seems to be playing out unless there's war coming or someone else is running the show.

It’s not good. Like I said, none of them will be looking out for the USA.

I'm really disappointed that the questions:

What color was GW's white horse?

and

Hu's the president of China?

are not going to be equally easy soon.

(Is Won Lum Sum still the head of the treasury?)

Hmmm...perhaps some Maoest Doctrine on how to turn the Occupy Movement into a a Peoples Bath and how to use Tianemman tactics on the Teaparty.

No, I don’t think the Won will show off his arrogance. This is a case of meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Won will bow most deeply.
