"US President Barack Obama's visit to China this weekend for the G20
summit and meetings with Chinese leaders, one of his last high-profile
activities before his term expires, is a chance to consolidate his
political legacy on Sino-US ties to ensure a good start for the next US
administration, experts said.
Obama will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping
on Saturday, a day before leaders of the Group of 20 industrial and
emerging-market economies hold their 11th summit in East China's
Hangzhou, on major issues of concern to the two countries, the White
House said on Monday.
Obama is also expected to attend a dinner to be hosted by Xi, said Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser for strategic communications."
