President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping began a day of talks at the White House to work through an agenda of disputes, primarily U.S. complaints about China’s behavior in cyberspace, and to look for ways the world’s two biggest economies can cooperate to shape global affairs.
After a private dinner Thursday night, the two leaders engaged in the more formal ceremonies surrounding Xi’s state visit to the U.S., including a round of discussions at the White House Friday morning and a joint news conference at noon.
