President Hu Jintao has told aides to US President Barack Obama that he wants to see healthy and stable ties between the two countries. Mr Hu's talks in Beijing, with the US National Economic Council chairman, Larry Summers, and the US Deputy National Security Adviser, Thomas Donilon, was said to be unusual because the president rarely meets visitors ranked lower in diplomatic protocol.

The talks follow months of discord over trade imbalances, Chinese currency policies and US arms sales to Taiwan. President Hu is expected to visit the US early next year.
