President Hu Jintao's Trip to the United States

 Chinese President Hu Jintao met with everyone from President Bush to Bill Gates on his trip to the United States in April. Trade, oil, North Korea's and Iran's nuclear plans, and copyright protection were but a few of the issues competing for space on the crowded agenda. To help clarify the issues, CSIS gathered some of its relevant materials into one location. Here you will find the latest resources, experts, publications, events, and congressional testimonies.
