the talks between the u-s and china will be the first for president obama. both the u-s and chinese governments have launched big spending plans, hoping to stimulate demand but the u-s is expected to tell china that it cannot rely on return of the u-s consumer's appetite for chinese-made goods. instead, washington will push china to put in place policies that encourage chinese consumers to spend. china experienced its own housing bubble, with residential home prices down 3o to 40 percent from the peak but in coastal urban areas, china real estate is going for about 10-thousand renminbi per square meter...or about $135 dollars per square foot. there is huge demand for residential property in china and i believe they're running about 7 million units shortage at the present time. the majority of the people got rich in the last few years and they will, in particular chinese people love to buy homes, they will buy homes for themselves. the focus of china's $586 billion stimulus has been building projects like roads, highways and airports, hoping better transportat

wrapping up two days of economic talks that included president obama, the u-s and china repeated their goals of more savings for the u-s and stoking the consumer in china. we are working together to try to stimulate the world economy. china is actually a little more aggressive about stimulating its own economay than we are. they're spending on an annualized basis about 20% more than we are. both countries have okayed stimulus plans in the hundreds of billions of dollars and china has been spending its money faster. chinese companies have been keen on going after u- s firms during this recession, looking to buy them at lower prices and when they need cash. chinese firms recently have picked up. appliance maker haier, beijing automotive and oil refiner sinopec all have been in the market for international acquisitions. china will come into this market, sweep up lots of companies under the radar, transfer thye intellectual property back into china and help its own domestic industry. and fishman thinks that's why the biggest issue between the u- s and china is agreeing to trade rules that

i would mention that the russian attitudes towards obama are not so straightforward s irina yasina has mentioned. many people see obama's charisma, they enjoy his openness, but many people doubt whether he is really experienced, whether this charisma is translated into american leadership and protecting american national interests in inappropriate ways. whether his his speech in egypt or other places, it actually increases his personal popularity but many believed it does not solve the american leadership -- they don't believe it serves american leadership. there is a strong temptation in moscow to test obama in a way that nikita khrushchev tested john kennedy in 1961. you remember the berlin crisis and the cuban crisis. the military exercises which are now going on near the georgian border, which is a clear demonstration of russian forces and an attempt to intimidate, it is also a kind of test for obama because i believe it is creating a certain background, a certain environment for the forthcoming negotiations, including those on the@@@@@@"")rr arms control problem we should not forg
