　　美國總統奧巴馬于北京時間11月15日晚間抵達上海，開始其為期四天的訪華之旅。他是第一位在就職第一年訪問中國的美國總統。在抵達中國的前一天，奧巴馬在日本指出，中國的快速發展將有助全球發展。美國不謀求遏制中國，并歡迎中國在世界上發揮更大的作用。美國白宮方面表示，奧巴馬在訪華期間將與中國領導人就人民幣匯率、經濟危機下的挑戰、不擴散核武器，以及能源合作等問題進行商討。在上海期間，奧巴馬還將對300名青年學生發表演講并回答學生們的提問。盡管日程緊湊，據說奧巴馬還將“忙里偷閑”，計劃去參觀北京故宮并到長城觀光游覽，并有可能會見他同父異母的弟弟。

　　United States President Barack Obama arrived last night at Shanghai Pudong International Airport to kick off his first visit to China, and will begin negotiations that will likely take a more cooperative tone than that of his predecessors.

　　The 48-year-old is the first US president to visit China within the first year of taking office. He will arrive in Beijing this afternoon during his four-day visit and meet President Hu Jintao, top legislator Wu Bangguo and Premier Wen Jiabao tomorrow and on Wednesday.

　　The China trip is also part of his first to Asia as president. In his wide-ranging speech in Japan on Saturday, Obama said he would welcome, not fear, a robust China as a powerful partner on urgent challenges.

　　"The rise of a strong, prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations," he told 1,500 prominent Japanese.

　　"We welcome China's efforts to play a greater role on the world stage, a role in which their growing economy is joined by growing responsibility."

　　Obama said Washington would work hard to build on newer relations with Asian nations such as China and Indonesia aside from strengthening alliances with Japan and the Republic of Korea.

　　The White House said he plans to talk with Chinese leaders about re-evaluating the Chinese currency. Shared challenges such as the economic crisis, nuclear nonproliferation and energy cooperation will also loom large in discussions.
