China’s President Being Called President Obama’s #1 Frenemy

Chinese President Xi Jinping (L) meets with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in New York, the United States, September 28, 2015. “No matter how the worldwide landscape may evolve and how strong China may become, China will never pursue hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence”, Xi said.

He also reached out to a cross-section of American society, talking with entrepreneurs of both countries and visiting a Boeing factory, the Microsoft headquarters and a local high school.

In August a year ago, the Pentagon spotted a Chinese warplane flying as close as 20ft to 30ft near a US Navy patrol jet.

The Facebook page, which is branded with the hashtag #XiUSAVisit, contains pictures and videos of Xi meeting with business people, U.S. President Barack Obama and other dignitaries and of course, pandas.

He also met U.S. Congress leaders and attended a welcoming luncheon hosted by Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry.

The Chinese president arrived in New York on Friday evening for a series of summits and meetings marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

Xi, whose country holds veto power on the UN Security Council, called for a system of global diplomacy that is built on multilateralism and mutual respect and said the worldwide community’s move towards a “multi-polar world” and the emergence of developing markets were an unstoppable reality.

He announced that China would establish a 10-year China-UN peace and development fund amounting to 1 billion dollars to advance multilateral cooperation.
