Obama and China

Barack Obama, recently traveled to China to address rights. While at first Obama praised China on bringing so many of its people out of poverty, which was a compliment well received, he also stated that the Chinese citizens deserve rights such as, access to the internet and freedom of expression. After this speech, Obama had a Q&A with Chinese students, ranging from subjects about the Nobel Peace Prize to issues about Taiwan.

There was barely any coverage of Obama's visit to China, with only a local station and two websites showing the event. After the Q&A Obama visited Hu Jintao for a dinner, and will visit again on Tuesday to talk about issues in Iran, North Korea, and the climate change.
