President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao had an unscripted meeting Saturday on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and East Asia summits in Nusa Dua on Indonesia's resort island of Bali.
The two reportedly focused on the economic matters in the surprise meeting that according to The Washington Post was "a late add-on to let the two men continue their conversation from a group dinner the night before."
Obama has been urging Beijing to adhere to international rules of conduct in the management of its currency and intellectual property policies, and also its territorial claims.
In a major policy speech to Australian lawmakers this week, during which he detailed an expansion of the US military presence in the region, Obama said:"The main message that I've said, not only publicly but also privately to the Chinese, is that with their rise comes increased responsibilities.
It's important for them to play by the rules of the road, and in fact, help underwrite the rules that have allowed so much remarkable economic progress to be made over the last several decades ... There are going to be times when they're not, and we will send a clear message to them that we think that they need to be on track in terms of accepting the rules and responsibilities that come with being a world power."
During his swing through Asia, beginning with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Hawaii, Obama has announced steps to expand trade and military cooperation with Asia-Pacific nations that share U.S. concerns over China’s.
