President Obama has made clear that he wants Beijing to stop building military facilities in disputed waters of the South China Sea. He also wants China to halt cyberattacks on U.S. government agencies and corporations. Xi, meanwhile, would like the U.S. to butt out of China's affairs in Asia. Here are four hot topics that Xi and Obama will find it hard to avoid: 1. Cybersecurity. Chinese hackers are thought to be behind the massive breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which exposed millions of U.S. government files. Beijing says it had nothing to do with the cyberattacks. 2. Chinese fugitives. There is no extradition treaty between the U.S. and China. All the same, Beijing would like Washington's help in tracking down its most wanted fugitives -- some of whom have fled to the U.S. with their fortunes. 3. Intellectual property. The lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights worries nearly 80% of American firms operating in China, according to a survey conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce in China. U.S. tech firms are particularly worried about new rules that could force them to turn over source code to Beijing, and otherwise submit to invasive audits. 4. The state of China's economy. The entire world needs a strong Chinese economy. But China still holds more U.S. debt than any other country, and some analysts are worried that Beijing might unload more of its Treasuries. Xi will be under pressure to provide reassurance that Beijing has the economy under control. http://propunion.com/
