FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Chinese President Xi Jinping was somewhat overshadowed by the Pope's visit to Washington. John and Sid at KMEC Radio puts it all in perspective with noted Chinese scholar, Henry Rosemont, Jr. 
BACKGROUND 

President Barack Obama announced on Friday that he had reached a "common understanding" with Chinese President Xi Jinping on curbing economic cyber espionage, but threatened to impose U.S. sanctions on Chinese hackers who persist with cyber crimes. 
The two leaders also unveiled a deal to build on a landmark emissions agreement struck last year, outlining new steps they will take to deliver on pledges they made then to slash their greenhouse gas emissions. 
Speaking after White House talks during Xi's first U.S. state visit, Obama quickly homed in on the thorniest dispute between the world's two biggest economies - growing U.S. complaints about Chinese hacking of government and corporate databases, and the suspicion in Washington that Beijing is sometimes behind it. 
Analysts said the agreement was significant. James Lewis, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the leaked plan for sanctions helped push the Chinese toward a better-than-expected agreement, but noted that Beijing also got Washington to consider some Chinese concepts for norms of behavior. 
For more analysis, KMEC Radio speaks with Distinguished Professor, Henry Rosemont, Jr..
