As U.S. President, Barack Obama, is currently visiting Beijing, much of the world media’s attention is focused on talks with the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, on the issue of trade and other economic disagreements.

Putting these and other critical issues to the side for the moment, a resounding message which surfaces from the President’s visit is that the relationship between China and the US is growing stronger – And that, in the opinion of several leading commentators, is good news for the world economy - which means good news for businesses.

I’ve been doing some interesting reading on the subject today and thought I would highlight a couple of the opinion articles I’ve read to see what your thoughts are.

The Wall Street Journal’s Robert B. Reich comments that President Barack Obama’s wish to “rebalance” the economic relationship between China and the U.S. as part of his plan to restart the American jobs machine is wishful thinking. Do you agree? Read here.

Newsweek’s Michael Hirsh says that the U.S.-China relationship is not only the fulcrum of the world economy, but a good thing after all. What do you think? Read here.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
