during the annenberg lifetime. walter annenberg's father owned a company called triangle publications inc. and not company published in the daily racing form in the "philadelphia inquirer" and his father had been involved in business for decades. his father was sent to prison in 1940 for tax evasion and at that point, walter took on the reins of triangle publications and it was in deep financial problems and he was responsible for introducing a number of new publishing elements that were wildly successful. 17 magazine was launched in the early 1940s, the first magazine in america cares specifically for young women. he pulled together this idea and launch tv guide at a time when they're only 10% of american households own televisions. that of course became the most popular magazine in america, had the highest circulation for decades and made the bulk of the fortune of triangle publications. walter annenberg had a genius for recognizing future trends in the stable to use his company to get ahead of those trends. leon

it is my great pleasure to meet you here at the annenberg estate.s is a wonderful place, a place of sunshine and it is very close to the pacific ocean and on the underside side of the ocean is china. -- other side of the ocean is china. when i visited the united states last year, the vast pacific ocean has enough space for the two large countries of china and the united states. i still believe so. and mr. president, we are meeting here today to chart the future of china-u.s. relations and draw a blueprint for this relationship and continue our cooperation across the pacific ocean. this reminds us of what happened over 40 years ago, when the leaders of china and the united states showed political courage and wisdom, realized that a handshake across the pacific ocean between china and the united states. and the more than 40 years since then, the china u.s. relationship has gone through things and made a historical progress. making our two people and people out -- elsewhere in the world have reaped huge benefits. and at present, the china-u.s. relation

he met walter annenberg in the late 1940's. we have a photo of the annenberg is with prince charles. this one from 1986. the end and birds, of course, had a really important relationship with the royal family. and so you see walter and queen elizabeth decades in the end birds life. clearly those individuals who were important to them over time needed to this wall. so it isn't generally an individual who they knew only and interacted with only once, but rather people who became their friend. in addition, we have a photograph of ronald reagan sitting in this chair looking at the television in this cabinet in 1983 when gorbachev was speaking to the american people about nuclear disarmament. and at the same time, ronald reagan's speech to soviet people was being broadcast. this important topic was critical and changing world political dynamics. and for us it makes this a very important historical spot in the sunnylands. the end birds are definitely republicans. there were long republicans. however, they crossed the aisle. and so ac

they met at sunnylands, apriving estate of the annenberg family, better known for hosting frank sinatra the rat pack, and ronald reagan for new year's eve 18 times. aides say it offered them a quiet space to work through a range of issues. among them, north korea. the leaders agreed to keep up pressure to reign in its nuclear ambitions. >> i think we have quite a bit of alignment on the korean issue, the north korean issue, and absolute agreement that we would continue to work together. >> sooiber attacks, according to the white house, the chinese acknowledged they're a problem. agreed to investigate, and work out rules of the road. >> i believe we can work together on this rather than at cross purposes. >> and climate change, for the first time, china agreed to work with the u.s. to limit the production of greenhouse gases. president obama gave the chinese leader a parting gift. this bench made of california wood. >> the bench was made out of a redwood. the two leaders were able to take a walk and able to sit on what became the bench that the chinese will be taking with them. throughou

it's an informal summit, unscripted, in sunnylands, at the annenberg estate.realize they don't have any control over that situation, i think potentially it's a missed opportunity. here you have two powerful women as the piece pointed out. pyung is seen as an empowering figure and so as michelle obama. so it's a slightly missed opportunity for this informal environment and to have these two interesting and powerful women get to know each other. >> you've spent so many years in china with your family, you're writers and experts on all of this. what about the missed opportunity? >> i think that actually the gained opportunity is at least offsets the missed opportunity. this was not originally a planned meeting. president xi was making his first western hemisphere visit to mexico and various places in the caribbean. this was thrown on as an extra meeting for him with the president. not a formal state visit, but a visit at sunnylands, so i think that outweighs the any snub by the first ladies. >> but michelle obama is not there. >> it's a second-tier issue. it's im

they held this summit at the annenberg estate aiming to foster a more candid conversation wit relaxed setting. of course, contentious issue was at the root of these talks which lasted for roughly eight hours over those two days. cyber security really took center stage. u.s. officials believe that the chinese have stolen billions of dollars in intellectual property from the united states over the past several years. chinese officials consistently denied those claims. president obama raised the issue with his chinese counterpart, but president xi did not acknowledge any culpability saying that china will have to deal with this issue moving forward and if they don't it could hurt the u.s./china relationship. take a listen. >> if it's not addressed, if there continues to be this direct theft of the united states property, that this was going to be a very difficult problem in the economic relationship, and was going to be an inhibitor to the relationship really reaching its full potential. >> reporter: now, the two leaders did find some common ground. both agreeing that north korea has to
