Bush and Hu: Cold or Hot?

At G-8 summit, President Bush and Hu Jintao held a joint press briefing. The difference between the two is obvious.

Bush thanks Hu for supporting the UN resolution on North Korea, and also acknowledges that economic and trade are still biggest issues for Sino-US relations." I want to thank you very much for our continued dialogue on bilateral issues. We spent a lot of time on economics and trade.

Hu, on the other side, wants US keep handsoff on unidentified issues. Presidnet Hu said, "At the same time, we also believe that we need to respect and properly address each other's concerns and properly handle the sensitive issues in the bilateral relationship, so that we can continue to move forward this relationship."
