World NewsObama, China's Xi start relationshipThe man destined to be China's next leader won an extraordinary welcome across Washington on Feb. 14. Trading kind words of cooperation, U.S. President Barack Obama and Xi Jinping also spoke directly about human rights and worsening foreign crises. Everything about the day reflected just how much China and the United States need each other, no matter what their differences, given their economic and military might and global influence. Xi got a lengthy Oval Office audience with Obama, an elaborate reception at the State Department, full military honors at the Pentagon, a gathering with chief business executives and a dinner at Vice President Joe Biden's house. The relationship between the nations is complex. It is strengthened by their joint need for international stability and economic growth -- and tested by currency disputes, China's limits on basic human freedoms, trade imbalances and growing military tensions. Obama and Xi said they would maintain a relationship based on mutual interests and respect. (AP)
