President Hu (Who)?

In Just 5 days, Chinese President Hu will in DC. One of Mr. Hu’s agenda is to convince America, possibly to the world as well, that rising of China is a peaceful one. Can he delivery it?

Frustration on the US side is obviously growing, currency manipulation, privacy, 300 billion trade deficit with the US, are top issues among others. China’s vice premier, Ms. Wu Yi is flexing Chinese buying power, with 15 billion dollars to purchase things from Boeing jets to Microsoft software; it seems it won’t be enough to satisfy Americans.

Failure to make progress in these economic issues may undermine political progress.
