Tom's Take

On AMANPOUR. today, we focus on the Korean peninsula. South Korea is the last stop for President Obama as he wraps up his weeklong trip throughout Asia. What to do about the growing national security threat posed by North Korea will surely be high on the list of topics for discussion in Seoul. AMANPOUR has the latest on what is going inside the closed state, including a report from a recent defector now trying to adjust to life as a refugee in South Korea. President Obama’s visit to Asia is just one of the stories making news today. Here are some perspectives on that and some other stories in the headlines.

Sr. Writer, AMANPOUR.
U.S. AND CHINA – How much did Obama/Hu summit in Beijing achieve?
– President Obama talks of positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship between U.S. and China
– Hu says he believes strong dialogue is important not only for U.S. and China, but whole world
– Summit affirmed U.S. recognition of China as a major player on the world stage
– But two leaders could not bridge divide on crucial issues such as trade, human rights, Tibet, and climate change
QUESTION: Is China an economic threat to the U.S. as 71 percent of Americans believe, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll?
INTERNATIONAL CURRENCIES – Can U.S. and China resolve their sharp differences over the Chinese yuan and the plummeting dollar?
– President Obama tries to convince China to allow its currency to rise in value on foreign exchange markets because Washington believes low yuan is disadvantaging U.S. exporters by making their products more expensive vs. Chinese goods
– President Hu makes no mention at all of dollar or yuan in joint statement to media, instead emphasizing need to avoid protectionism in world trade (U.S. recently introduced tariffs on Chinese-made tires and other products)
– China also concerned falling dollar will devalue its almost two trillion dollars of assets denominated in the U.S. currency
– U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke makes rare comments on U.S. dollar, saying he’s monitoring markets closely and will “help ensure that the dollar is strong”
QUESTION: Will the tension over the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan, if not resolved, lead to a trade war between the U.S. and China that could plunge the world into a new recession?
AFGHANISTAN – Is Britain preparing an exit strategy from Afghanistan?
– British PM Brown hopes U.N. conference in London in new year could pave the way for start of handover of Afghan districts to full Kabul control from 2010
– As British casualties rise, public opposition to the war is increasing and parliamentary support for the U.K. mission is beginning to fracture
– Britain is the second biggest contributor of troops to the war after the U.S., with 9,000 soldiers in Afghanistan
– Canada and the Netherlands have already announced plans to withdraw their troops from major combat operations in Afghanistan, beginning next year
QUESTION: Will European countries maintain existing force levels in Afghanistan, let alone increase them, even if President Obama increases American troop strength there?

I think US should stop being sceptical of China, and get to a stage whereby USA realise that China will rule the economy world for a long time coming.
When the US was busy with wars all over the middle east (Iraq etc), China was busy developing her economy. Therefore it is not China fault that She is ruling the economy world ut US.
Stop moaning and learn what they ar doing correctly and positively in the growth of their economy.
Get back on the train of economy development both monetarily and fiscally. Russia and India are on their way.
China is not an economical threat to the Usa.
This attitude is wrong.
Mutual respect for mutual partners is the key to harmonic dialog, economical and political understanding in a good relatioship.
I believe the U.S will be victorious in this war.if they were able to win in2003,then why not now.But i have on fear which is that of financial constraints.this is because President Bush invested so much in wars that the U.S economy was almost shattered if not of the timely inter vention of a briliant gentle man called Obama.This is a note of encouragement to the international community to deny terrorism and work towards world peace

I simply needed to thank you so much once again. I am not sure the things that I would've implemented without the type of recommendations provided by you on such a question. It previously was a very frightful dilemma in my opinion, however , noticing the very specialised mode you processed that made me to leap over gladness. I am just happy for this information and in addition hope that you know what a great job you are always getting into teaching people thru your web blog. More than likely you have never got to know any of us. https://sinequandoxepin.com/#
