BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- "Significant for the stability and development of China-US economic relations and the development of bilateral relations in 2012" - that’s how Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping is describing the visit by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Xi made the remarks during a meeting with Geithner, who is visiting Beijing as US President Barack Obama’s special representative. Xi expressed appreciation for Geithner’s work on China-US macroeconomic coordination and pragmatic cooperation.
