...vast holdings of U.S. bonds will not be debased as a result of America's rising deficits. Indeed, a question Geithner heard from a bright young Peking University student is the same one he'll hear on Tuesday, when he is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao: How safe are Chinese investments in U.S. Treasury debt...
...about China. They fear their way of life is not something [China] can accept, particularly in terms of freedom and democracy, so obviously the time has not come for the two sides to negotiate something called unification. But on the issue of security, two years ago, [China President] Hu Jintao formally extended an offer to Taiwan, that we should sign a peace agreement. At the time, I was running for president, and I responded positively. But I think that we want to make it clear this is not an agreement on Taiwan's future buy rather it is a security...
...Chinese port of Qingdao to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA-Navy). It was a chummy affair of joint exercises and processions at sea, overseen by white-clad officers in full regalia.

So those who knew him, and those who were inspired by him, have decided to continue Hu's work in Hong Kong. "I know Hong Kong has many problems, like self-censorship," Meng said at a downtown coffee shop a few weeks...
Scan the bare figures and China appears to be on the skids. Exports are plummeting, experts are slashing growth forecasts and unemployment could rise to its highest level since 1949, the year the People's Republic was founded. But if President Hu Jintao feels the heat, he isn't letting anyone see him sweat. Despite the massive challenges Beijing faces, the Chinese leadership seems to regard 2009 much as Michael Corleone viewed the day of his godson's baptism in The Godfather - this year, China settles all business...
