We hope that in the future your Administration will help explain to the American people - not to mention the members of Congress in both parties - that increased direct Chinese investment in the U.S. is in both our interests. We have so many dollars piling up, we're going to be buying your stuff for years to come. (See pictures of China's electronic...
