``China well-placed to help build stable, prosperous world''
As both a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the most prominent developing country in the world, China is well placed to help build a stable, prosperous and peaceful world, a US expert on international politics has said.
``The United States welcomes the continuing peaceful rise of China as a world power and that, in fact, it is in the United States' interest that China continues on the path of success, because we believe that a peaceful and stable and prosperous China is not only good for Chinese but also good for the world and for the United States,'' Obama said alongside Xi ahead of their first bilateral meeting.
