White House national security adviser Tom Donilon added that during their meetings Obama also explained to Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) other types of problems the U.S. has faced, including theft of intellectual property.

Donilon says Obama requested that the Chinese government "engage" on the issue and understand that such activity is inconsistent with the kind of relationship the U.S. desires to build with China.
