camapign to end protectionism. President Hu said the two sides would "continue
to have consultations on an equal footing to properly resolve economic and trade
frictions". He made the comments at a joint press conference after a summit meeting

climate change and North Korea also played a major role in the talks. Before Tuesday's

"We believe strong dialogue is important not only for the US and China, but for
the rest of the world." Later in the day, Obama is due to visit the Forbidden

banquet at the Great Hall organised in his honour. Obama arrived in Beijing by

internet access was a "source of strength" that should be encouraged. Communist
