President Obama landed in South Korea Wednesday for the last stop on his 10-day trip to Asia. The president made earlier visits to China, Singapore and Japan, in his first Asian journey as president.
In Japan, he made reference to his birth in Hawaii and his childhood spent partly in Indonesia, calling himself "America's first Pacific president." But as the trip winds down, analysts are seeking to answer the question of what Obama accomplished.
Fareed Zakaria, author and host of CNN's "Fareed Zakaria: GPS" spoke to CNN Tuesday about the president's trip and about a grim anniversary that's about to be marked in Asia. It's been one year since 10 Pakistani gunmen put India's commercial capital, Mumbai, through an ordeal of terror that killed 170 people. [Zakaria is the narrator of a documentary on the Mumbai attacks premiering on HBO on Friday.]

Japanese leaders are used to handling American presidents demanding things when they turn up in Tokyo every couple of years. Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa didn't even complain when President George Bush Sr. barfed on him over dinner in 1992.
Under Bush's war-distracted son, the Japanese had an easy time, but for several years before him President Bill Clinton bashed them around over a ballooning trade deficit. During one jaunt in Japan he gave his hosts the finger by visiting a Chrysler dealership to highlight the pathetic sales of American cars in Japan that he blamed on import restrictions. In retrospect it was the failure of America's once-mighty auto giants to build the kind of cars that the Japanese like to drive.

Search engine giant Google is to send a representative to China next week to talk with the country's copyright watchdog to cool down Chinese authors' heated complaints against the company over copyright violations, said a Google senior executive Sunday.
Daniel Alegre, Google's vice president of Asia Pacific Sales & Operations, told Xinhua on phone that he is not sure about whom but someone will go to China to "communicate" further with China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS) next week.
According to a rough estimate from CWWCS, nearly 18,000 books from 570 Chinese writers have been scanned by Google and included in its digital library, Google Books, opening only to Internet users in the United States. Most of the writers were not informed nor paid.
