President Obama's trip to China has occasioned a spate of articles documenting the increasingly unhappy, yet apparently indissoluble, marriage between the American and Chinese economies.

After taking his message as the “first Pacific president” through four countries in eight days, President Obama wrapped up his tour of Asia on Thursday with talks with South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak and a planned visit to U.S. troops stationed in the shadow of nuclear-armed North Korea.

U.S. President Barack Obama's trip to Asia may increase pressure on North Korea to return to stalled nuclear talks, but it is a long way from ensuring that Pyongyang will take permanent disarmament steps.

The European Union wants to strengthen its position on the world stage by appointing a president and foreign policy chief, but the process is proving so divisive its goal may already have been undermined.

When U.S. President Barack Obama welcomes India's prime minister on a visit to Washington next week, there will be one nervous onlooker: Pakistan.

President Barack Obama's first visit to China underscored a shifting balance of power: two giants moving closer to being equals.

President Obama has emerged from his first trip to China with few breakthroughs on important issues, such as Iran's nuclear program or China's currency.

On his first official visit to Asia, President Obama has sought to reassure China that the United States does not want to contain its rise, but rather welcomes “a strong and prosperous ... member of the community of nations.”

Probably to the disappointment of Taipei, President Barack Obama did not mention the Taiwan Relations Act as one of the four pillars of Washington's China policy, since the United States normalized relations with China in 1979.
