Xinhua photo editors value Sino-U.S. ties<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Donald Rumsfeld is in China, and Xinhua has published a report about the visit, illustrated with the photo on the left showing Rumsfeld doing something odd to his nose. Below is a rough translation of the report:<\/p>\n

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is about to visit China, his first visit since becoming the head of the Pentagon in 2001. Experts and scholars who study Sino-American relations are following closely the aims of this visit, the possible subjects Rumsfeld will discuss with Chinese leaders, and the significance of the visit.<\/p>\n

There are even experts who say that as one of the most powerful representatives of the American “hawks”, Rumsfeld’s visit to China this time is not ordinary; at a time when there are great frictions betweeen the U.S. and China and continuously occuring small frictions, this visit highlights the importance of Sino-American relations, and the hope of both sides that the relationship could enter a new climax (i.e. high point).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
