New deals may highlight Xi's US visit

As President Xi Jinping begins his weeklong state visit to the United States on Tuesday, many are wondering about the possible outcomes of the visit, which depend on the interactions between the two sides.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, for one, suggested before Xi's visit that US President Barack Obama "talk honestly to the Chinese, to tell them what their concerns are, to learn Chinese concerns".

Given the increasingly delicate international situation and China-US relationship, how the two countries should control and manage their differences to deepen bilateral cooperation is expected to top the agenda of the Xi-Obama summit.
