Summary Box: Hu calls for stable ties with US
OLIVE BRANCH: Chinese President Hu Jintao told American officials on Wednesday that he wants healthy and stable ties between the two countries. The remarks come before a possible visit to Washington in January.
ROCKY RELATIONS: The nations have been at odds over trade imbalances, China’s currency policies and U.S. arms sales to Chinese rival Taiwan.
CONCESSIONS SOUGHT: President Barack Obama is hoping for concessions from Beijing on exchange rate policies that critics say keep the Chinese currency too low, subsidizing Chinese exports and contributing to high U.S. unemployment.
