Current Events 1

There are many interesting things currently happening in China. Several of these events have to do with the country’s foreign policies and deals with other countries. Recently, China had joined the APEC summit in Australia, where it would try to make economic deals with western Australia. It has also said that it would declare its annual defense spending to the UN.
The Asia-Pacific-Economic-Cooperation met in Australia hoping to arrange economic deals between countries. China’s President Hu Jintao joined them in his first visit to Australia. He said we wanted to make “win-win” economic deals with APEC at the summit. He also noticed that Western Australia was rich in resources, and decided that it would be a good idea to strengthen relationships between Australia and China.
China has also announced that it would declare its basic annual defense spending and arms sales to the UN. However, it is not known exactly what information will be declared. China is still likely to keep most defense matters secret. Some people are concerned by the secrecy of such information.
