U.S. President Barack Obama (R) meets Chinese President Hu Jintao at Winfield House, the U.S. ambassador's residence in London April 1, 2009. Obama, who will visit Shanghai and Beijing for the first time on Nov. 15-18, spent much of his childhood in Hawaii, five time zones away from Washington, D.C.; and beginning in 1967, when he was six years old, he lived in Jakarta for four years. Although U.S. President Barack Obama has never set foot there, China cast a long shadow in the Pacific region where he grew up. Picture taken April 1, 2009.
