AP: Amid tensions between China and the U.S. over a confrontation at sea, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang (yahng jay-uh-CHUR') Jiechi is paying a visit to the White House.
Spokesman Robert Gibbs said he expects the dispute will be discussed when Yang meets later Thursday with President Barack Obama, but will not dominate the conversation. Yang also is expected to meet with Obama's national security adviser, James Jones, a former U.S. Marine Corps general.
