Biden Concludes Japan, China Visit
On a seven day tour of Asia, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden boarded the jet to Hawaii from Beijing concluding his China visit. It was Mr. Biden's first China visit since taking office. A main purpose of the trip was to build a relationship with Vice President Xi Jinping, who is expected to become China's leader next year.
However Mr. Biden will carry some unpleasant memories of his China visit due to his quote on the Chinese policy to curb population. He said that the policy to curb population growth is "one which I fully understand- I'm not second guessing -of one child per family. The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable. "
Calling China's policy "gruesome and barbaric," was Mr. Romney's response to the quote by the VP during his China Visit.
