U.S.Vice President Joe Biden Visits China

BEIJING, CHINA - AUGUST 17: U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (L) waves with his granddaughter Naomi Biden as they walk out from Air Force Two upon arrival at the Beijing Capital International Airport on August 17, 2011 in Beijing, China. Vice President Joe Biden, a veteran foreign policy hand during his 36-year Senate career, arrived for a five-day visit in China under a cloud of criticism over the U.S. debt, as he seeks to build a rapport with Xi Jinping, the man expected to be the rising Asian power's next leader. He will later visit emerging U.S. partner Mongolia and longstanding ally Japan. (Photo by Ng Han Guan-Pool/Getty Images)
