US President Barack Obama made his first visit to China early this week, during which he sent out signals to China that the US sees China as its partner, not a rival.

During his Asian tour, Obama emphasized that the US isn't looking to contain the rise of a strong, prosperous China.

“China-US relations are very important. Maintaining such ties is the responsibility of both sides,” President Hu jintao told reporters after his meeting with Obama. Hu described the meeting as candid(坦诚的), constructive and fruitful, a “very good” talk.

The two leaders agreed that the key to China-US relations was to respect each other's interests and major concerns, but that national differences were normal.

A joint statement released after the meeting said it covered major issues, from nuclear proliferation to global warming to financial crisis and trade protectionism. “China-US relations go beyond any single issue,” said Obama.

China holds a large amount of US government debt – over $800 billion (5.5 trillion yuan) in Treasury bonds. Just before Obama's China visit, The New York Times described it as a trip to “pay his respects to his banker”.

The US is the China's biggest export market, accounting for more than 70 percent of China's exports. Total trade between the two was worth $400 billion (2.7 trillion yuan), in 2008.

In addition to the financial interdependence, there are educational exchanges to be considered. More than 11,000 Americans studied in China last year, for a 25 percent increase over the previous year, according to the Institute of International Education in the US. Meanwhile, Chinese students are the second largest group of foreign students in the US, and their numbers are on the rise. Last year, 81,000 mainland students went to the US, a 20 percent increase from 2008. According to the joint statement issued on Tuesday, for the next four years, over 100,000 American students will be sent to the China for study.

Still, people in the two countries may have a long way to go in improving their opinions.
