【新唐人2013年05月23日訊】5月21號，美國白宮和中共外交部分別宣佈，美國總統歐巴馬與大陸國家主席習近平6月份將在加州進行雙邊會晤。這次會見可以說是出乎意料。因為胡錦濤當選國家主席3年後才訪問美國，江澤民也在4年半後才訪美。而習近平接任國家主席僅僅2個多月就訪美，被外界認為史上罕見。那麼，習近平為甚麼要急着訪問美國呢？歐巴馬和習近平將要談甚麼呢？我們來聽專家的分析。
根據中共外交部的消息，習近平在訪美之前，將對特立尼達和多巴哥、哥斯大黎加、墨西哥三國進行國事訪問，時間為5月31號至6月6號。此後，將於6月7號至8號在美國加利福尼亞州安納伯格莊園同歐巴馬舉行會晤。
而白宮的聲明則說，歐巴馬和習近平將深入討論廣泛的雙邊、地區和全球議題。他們將回顧過去，以及未來如何建設性的處理兩國間的分歧。
美國《中國事務》雜誌總編伍凡：「我想面談的面會很廣，因為習近平上來已經半年了，第一中國國內面臨著很大的困難，很大的問題，而這些問題跟外國各個形勢都有關；第二，現在中國的網軍又繼續向美國開始進攻了，美國有很多資金又撤回去了，從中國大陸撤回去，很多工廠生產線也往回撤了。也增加了中國經濟上的很多困難。」
美國中文雜誌《中國事務》總編伍凡分析，不僅僅中美兩國之間有很多問題亟待解決，中美和歐洲，中國和日本、菲律賓、越南等周邊國家的關係都涉及到美國。伍凡認為，中國面臨內外交困，有很多問題習近平需要找美國商量和談判。
歐巴馬和習近平的會晤，同時引發美國媒體的強烈關注。
5月21號《洛杉磯時報》猜測，歐巴馬和習近平可能要談到的話題：一是，美國將會向中共施壓，讓中共幫助勸說
朝鮮放棄核計劃；二是，中共針對美國政府和企業的大規模網路間諜活動。
同一天的加拿大《環球郵報》則認為，會談的內容可能涉及朝鮮、網路攻擊以及南中國海領土糾紛等一系列問題。
中國公民監政會主席郭永豐：「它是個秘密的會談，也是個突如其來的會談，它（中共）都做好了充分的準備，也是有備而來，它目地性很強的，主要是獨裁國家的外交，主要是金錢外交，第二是人情外交， 第三也要經過金錢的收買，歐巴馬不知道能不能吃他一套。」
另外，歐巴馬和習近平的會晤地點，是已故美國富豪安納伯格的豪宅「陽光之鄉」（Sunnylands）。
而美國智庫布魯金斯學會網站，21號刊登的一篇博文認為，兩位領導人在輕鬆的場所裡，可以放鬆的暢談，包括他們各自在國內所面臨的挑戰以及他們對未來的期待。
旅德學者仲維光：「我認為所有習近平無論他採取甚麼樣的做法，以及他講甚麼樣的話，實際上，這個東西只能製造一個暫時的現象，最根本的，還是習近平到底想走哪條路，到底對歷史怎麼認識。」
香港《爭鳴》雜誌日前透露，習近平在3月的一次中共高層會議上發出警告說：今年和明年兩年，中共將面臨生死決戰。
旅德學者仲維光希望習近平在歷史面前，或者說在激流中，改變方向，這樣的話，無論是對他，對中國，對未來，都是一件好事。

Unexpected & Unusual: Obama Meeting with Xi Jinping Announced
On May 21, it was officially declared that U.S.
President Barack Obama and China’s President
Xi Jinping will meet in June, in California.
This is deemed an unexpected and unusual meeting,
as Xi took over as state president two months ago.
In contrast, Hu Jintao’s first US trip was three
years after assuming office, whilst Jiang Zemin
was four and a half years after taking office.
Why is Xi Jinping hastily going to visit the US?
What are the issues for Obama and Xi to discuss?
Let’s see the experts’ interpretation of it.
China’s Foreign Affairs Ministry stated that before
Xi’s US trip, Xi will visit Trinidad and Tobago,
Costa Rica, and Mexico, from May 31 to June 6.
June 7-8, Xi will meet with President Obama in California.
The White House announced that Obama and Xi will
debate a wide range of bilateral, regional and global issues.
They will"review progress and challenges in
U.S.-China relations over the past four years.
They will also discuss ways to enhance cooperation, whilst
constructively managing differences in the years ahead.
Wu Fan, Chief editor, US-based China Affairs:
“I think their talks will cover a broad range of issues.
Xi Jinping has held office as the new Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) leader for over half a year.
Firstly, China now faces a plight, in that it is subject
to the influence of the world’s political situation.
Secondly, Chinese netizens have
flooded US online petition systems.
A lot of US factories have also
withdrawn from mainland China.
This is also increased economic hardship in China."
Wu Fan says that between the two countries,
there exist many problems that need to be solved.
Also, the U.S. have involved in other issues.
These include US-China relations, China-Europe
relations, and relations between China and its neighbors.
Wu Fan thinks that China has been beset
with internal and external difficulties.
All these have driven Xi Jinping to seek
solutions, by negotiating with the US.
The Obama-Xi meeting has
sparked intense US media attention.
According to a Los Angeles Times article dated
May 21, there are a few possible discussion topics.
The US may pressure the CCP to help persuade
Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program.
They may also discuss the CCP’s large-scale cyber
attacks on the US government and businesses.
On the same day, the Canadian Global Post reported
issues that are possibilities of being discussed.
These are North Korea, cyber attacks, and
territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Guo Yongfeng, Founder of"Citizen Watchdog":
“These are secret and unexpected talks.
The CCP has been well prepared for it, with a clear aim.
It implements authoritarian diplomacy, mainly by
using dollars, then by personal relationship, and bribery.
But Xi doesn’t know that Obama won’t fall for that."
As scheduled, Obama and Xi will meet at Sunnylands,
the famed Annenberg estate, located in Rancho Mirage.
On May 21, a blog was published
on the Brookings Institution website.
It reviewed that in an informal environment, the two can talk
about their domestic challenges and visions for the future.
Zhong Weiguang, Germany-based scholar:
“I think that no matter what approach Xi Jinping
will take, and what he will advocate or promise,
all the results will only be transitory.
The core issue is that Xi’s choice of political
route, and his justification of China’s history."
According to Hong Kong’s Cheng Ming Magazine,
Xi Jinping gave warning at a high-level meeting in March.
Xi said that the CCP will face a
life-or-death battle in 2013 and 2014.
Zhong Weiguang hopes that Xi will choose
a new direction in the face of China’s history.
That will be good for Xi himself, for China,
and for the future, explains the scholar.
