I think he bowed not out of respect or to try and get a handout from the Chinese, but because we thoroughly rely on the Chinese more than they rely on
us.
People on seeing this two one-sided; I'm noting the examples given that state we won't get a handout just because he bowed; how about the exact
opposite? If he didn't bow China could make our lives hell.
The United States is not the superpower it use to be, and the only reason our economy hasn't fully collapsed is because China stepped in to help us.
By bowing he is showing that we're thankful for their help in our time of need.
