President Obama will soon make his first official trip to Asia since taking the Oath of Office in January. Though he has made previous diplomatic missions abroad, the fact that the US President is coming to Asia, and in particular China, within the first year of his administration could well speak volumes to the importance the United States puts on its relationship with Asia. And while many here in China wondered out loud after Mr. Obama was elected as to what his administration's China policy would be, there appears to be a general sense that much of the relationship that was forged under the previous Bush administration remains in place. So what will this trip by President Obama mean in terms of the Sino-US relationship? CRI brings you a live video webcast 9:30-10:30am, Nov. 10, Beijing Time.
