China's Diplomatic Push


While Chinese President Hu Jintao seals deals in Greece and Latin America following last weekend's APEC Summit, members of the new Chinese government (11th National People's Congress) are spanning the globe to strengthen China's foreign relations. Jia Qinglin (Communist Party Standing Committee), considered Beijing's top political advisor, met with the King of Jordan yesterday. Liu Yunshan (Standing Committee) is currently in Bahrain and will next visit Egypt, Israel, and occupied Palestine. Meanwhile Liu Yandong (State Council) is in Switzerland for meetings in Geneva and Meng Jianzhu (State Council) will soon travel to Cambodia and Vietnam.


And next week Beijing will host Treasury Secretary Paulson and a delegation of Bush administration officials at the US-China Strategic Economic Dialogue.
