See Obama's schedule with China's President Hu Jintao here.

It should be noted that John Boehner declined Obama's invitation to attend the State dinner with Hu Jintao, which is highly disappointing. He seemed to have been doing well in his new position as House Speaker. Attending the State dinner is patriotic and important. Declining the State dinner is asinine. I guess I need to call Harry Reid an arse as well. He declined the State dinner and called Hu a dictator.
