U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President will hold a two-day summit in California on June 7 and 8. The U.S.- China relationship has been described as being at a critical juncture.

Issues likely to be discussed during the meeting include:
- North Korea’s nuclear threat
- U.S. accusations of cyber-spying
- Diaoyu/Senkaku dispute
- Currency and trade issues
This week’s question is: What can we expect from this meeting?
- A major breakthrough or agreement
- Real progress on substantive issues?
- General agreements and promises of future meetings?
