What do you have for China and what do you want to get from China?

Bilateral trade is another topic. Obama says the US does not seek to contain China's rise and he welcomes China to be a "strong, prosperous, and successful member of the community of nations."

The president says he's looking forward to discussing many pressing international issues with Chinese leaders when they meet.

CCTV reporter Wang Mangmang said, "Like his predecessors, Barack Obama begins his China visit away from the country's capital. The choice of the commercial hub Shanghai highlights the importance of bilateral trade. And the president's interactions with young Chinese will help inform his own views about the country, the fresh thoughts from a new generation that will help shape the future of China-US relations. It's a learning trip with several missions."
