Leaders shaking hands for media in Oval Office\u003cbr/\u003eTouching on a key source of tension between the US and China, US President Barack Obama greeted visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday by stressing the need for nations to observe universal human rights. \u003cbr/\u003eHu responded with a call for both countries to respect each other's core interests.\u003cbr/\u003eObama welcomed Hu to the White House with full honours and a red-carpet greeting, marking the start of daylong meetings to address trade, security and human rights issues that have been the cause of past strain between the two powers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"History shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful and the world is more just when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all peoples are upheld including the universal rights of every human being,\" Obama said in his remarks.\u003cbr/\u003eChina's human right's policies have caused strains between the rival powers, with the US calling on China to release jailed dissidents, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, who was prevented from attending the December 10 prize ceremony in the Norwegian capital.\u003cbr/\u003eObama's tone was nonetheless friendly, welcoming China's rise as a global economic force. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We have an enormous stake in each other's success,\" Obama said.\u003cbr/\u003eHu said the relationship between the two counties has grown to one of \"strategic significance and global influence.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Hu pointedly added that China and the US \"should respect each other's choice of development paths and each other's core interests.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBy \"core interests\" Hu was referring to issues on which China will brook no challenge, such as its claim to the currently self-governing island of Taiwan, which split from the mainland amid civil war in 1949, and to Tibet, which is already under China's control. \u003cbr/\u003eUS leaders, including Obama, have irked China repeatedly by meeting with exile Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. \u003cbr/\u003eThe announcement of the latest US arms sales to Taiwan last year prompted China to sever military ties with the US for several months.\u003cbr/\u003eThe state visit marked Hu's first trip to the US since 2006, when his arrival ceremony was marred by protocol blunders including an outburst from a protester from the Falun Gong spiritual sect. No such missteps occurred on Wednesday.\u003cbr/\u003eIt follows an up and down two years in which an assertive China initially cold-shouldered the US on climate change, did little to reel in its unpredictable ally North Korea and responded limply to US pleas to mitigate trade imbalances. \u003cbr/\u003eBoth sides are now setting a more positive tone.\u003cbr/\u003eHu pulled up to the White House portico on Wednesday as part of a highly choreographed arrival, complete with welcomes from the president, Vice President Joe Biden and their wives and a long line of Cabinet members and Chinese dignitaries.\u003cbr/\u003eObama and Hu stood at attention as a military band played both national anthems. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Chinese anthem was properly announced as that of the \"People's Republic of China,\" avoiding another gaffe committed during Hu's 2006 visit, when an announcer mistakenly used the official name of Taiwan.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter the official ceremony, Obama and Biden met with Hu in the Oval Office ahead of an expanded meeting  including their respective staffs. \u003cbr/\u003eThe ceremonial highlight of the visit will be a lavish, pomp-filled state dinner on Wednesday evening.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
