Limited progress in US-China talks
President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao emerged from hours of intense talks today determined to marshal their combined clout on crucial issues, but still showing divisions over economic, security and human rights issues that have long bedevilled the two powers.
"The relationship between our two nations goes far beyond any single issue," Mr Obama said in a joint appearance with Mr Hu that followed about 2½ hours of private conversations.
