thank you, mr. president. president obama, with your respect and permission, because of translation questions, could i direct one first to president hu? thank you. first off, my colleague asked you a question about human rights which you did not answer. was wondering if we could get an answer to that question. also, on capitol hill, senate majority harry reid, house speaker john boehner are not attending the state dinner. many on capitol hill see china as a threat, what can you do to allay their fears?

further expand cultural exchanges and to develop tourism. we re going to use a variety of means to further increase people-to-people exchanges. i would like to particularly stress here that the young people hold the future of this relationship. it is extremely important to increase the exchanges between the young people in our two countries. through such exchanges i hope that our friendship can be furthered, and i hope that they in the future can serve as ambassadors of good will for our two countries and they can make even more positive contribution to the development of a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit. let me respond briefly to your question. i absolutely believe that china s peaceful rise is good for the world and it s good for
