American-style meals await president

China will host the West Wing this week with tailored American cuisine and a magnificent view over the heart of its capital.

President Obama, along with a star cast from the White House, will be staying at the luxurious suites at the Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai and the St. Regis in Beijing upon arrival.

Both hotels, cleared by security agents, were also picked by previous visiting US presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush during their trips to China.
