President Obama is flying home after a nine-day Asia-Pacific trip that took him into Hawaii, Australia and to Indonesia where he had a meeting of East Asian leaders. Less hours before he left Indonesia, Mr. Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met to discuss economic issues. Administration officials said Mr. Obama called for China to change the value of its money. The two leaders also talked about freedom of sea transport in the South China Sea. Earlier Mr. Wen had warned against what he called "outside interference" in dispute over the South China Sea which also involve the Philippines, Vietnam and some other Asian countries.
オバマ大統領は、ハワイ、オーストラリア、そして東アジア諸国のリーダーと会議を開いたインドネシアを訪れたアジア・太平洋9日間の訪問を終え、飛行機で帰国している。インドシアを離れる数時間前に、オバマ氏と中国の温家宝首相は経済問題を話しあうために会談した。アメリカ政府関係者によると、オバマ氏は中国に対して通貨の価値を変更するよう求めたということである。二人の首脳はまた、南シナ海における海路の自由についても話をした。その以前に、温氏は、フィリピン、ベトナムや他のアジア諸国が関係している南シナ海の問題について「外部による干渉」だと、警告している。
My thought/opinion on this issue
China is getting bigger in economic and military power. Today's two country's relationship let me remind of the big countries described in "1984" by George Orwell.

--> The two leaders
From a stylistic point of view, it's said that it's better to spell out numbers that are less than ten. It's a not a hard-and-fast rule, but it's a guideline that I follow. Just food for thought.
And, yes, I can totally see where you're coming from regarding the U.S. and China's relationship reminding you of 1984.
