US President Barack Obama has told China that individual rights and freedoms should be available to all. He told an audience of Chinese students that certain freedoms were universal and not just limited to Americans. Speaking at a question and answer session in Shanghai, Mr Obama added that China and the US were not destined to be adversaries. He has now arrived in the Chinese capital, Beijing, where he is to meet President Hu Jintao. In his speech at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, the US president praised China's efforts in lifting millions of people out of poverty, saying it was "unparalleled" in human history. But according to a BBC correspondent in Beijing, Michael Bristow, Mr Obama also made comments that his hosts would have been less pleased to hear.
