I believe that through the joint efforts of China and the U.S., my visit will deepen our mutual understanding, broaden our common ground and promote friendship and cooperation between our two countries, and that China-U.S. relations will enter a new stage of development,
Leaders of both countries have built mutual trust and a cooperative partnership, exchanged high-level visits frequently and coordinated closely in major international affairs,
I look forward to my visit with President Bush to exchange views on serious and important subjects ... to help move forward our cooperative relationship.
I have visited many countries and I see that when people have an accident, the two groups involved, the two parts always say 'excuse me',
I have visited many countries and I see it as very normal that when people clash (bump in to each other), it is normal that these people apologize, ... Now, we see that these planes come in to our country and they don't want to ask for forgiveness. Is that normal?

Both China and the United States are victims of terrorism and the Chinese and Americans have stood together and carried out effective cooperation in the war against terror,
The system must not be shaken, weakened or discarded at any time. The Western mode of political systems must never be copied,
Russia and China stress the basic importance of the ABM treaty, which is a cornerstone of the strategic stability and the basis for reducing offensive weapons, and speak out for maintaining the treaty in its current form,
