The Chinese character ren, a word that generally means “benevolence”, has been selected by high school students in a poll(民意调查)to highlight Chinese culture around the world. The character ren was selected by 8.33 percent of the 3. 000 respondents who took part in the poll, according to one of the organizers, a student from a high school.

President Barack Obama nominated (提名) Utah governor Jon Huntsman as ambassador (大使) to China on May 16.

Huntsman, 49, is the son of a Utah multimillionaire (千万富翁). He served as ambassador to Singapore under former president George H.W. Bush. In 2004, he became the governor of Utah and was elected for a second term in 2008.

The governor has strong ties to China: He lived in Taiwan when he was a teenager and speaks fluent Chinese. One of his daughters was adopted (收养) from China. His family also has business ties with China through Huntsman Corp, a chemical company. It has operations (动作) in the country including a factory in Shanghai.

Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise in both countries.

“Jon Huntsman is a well-regarded politician (政治家) in the US…… his experience as ambassador to Singapore and his knowledge of China, plus his wonderful Chinese language skills singled him out from the large number of candidates,” Dai Min, president of the US-based Center for America-China Partnership (中美合作中心), told China Daily.

Obama appointed Huntsman “in order to seek China’s help and cooperation” on several international and regional issues, said Yuan Peng, professor of American Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (中国现代国际关系研究院).

Some people say that President Obama’s decision to name John Huntsman is a well thought out political strategy. Huntsman is a big player in the Republican Party, and a possible presidential candidate for 2012. If he really has joined the Obama administration, he has lost that possibility. Now, when Obama kicks off his re-election campaign, “ambassador” Huntsman won’t be a threat.

B. By choosing Huntsman, Obama kills two birds with one stone.

C. Huntsman will probably run for president in 2012.

Visiting U.S. President George W. Bush said in Beijing Friday that both China and the United States should encourage bilateral (双边的) contacts and exchanges to promote mutual understanding.

“It’s important for our political leaders to come to China,”said Bush, who gave a speech Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China.

His working visit to China and discussions with Oinghua students “help promote” Sino-U.S. (中美) relations, Bush said in response to a student’s question about what he would do to promote Sino-U.S. relations.

“Many people in my country are very interested in China,” he said, adding that these Americans have learned more about China’s culture and the Chinese people.

He said that he would keep encouraging such contacts and exchanges between the two countries.

Bush said that he would describe back home what he has seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a “great history” but also an “unbelievably exciting future.”

The president said that the 2008 Olympic Games would make a significant opportunity for the rest of the world to understand China, which enables more people to come to China and feel the modernization taking place, and many more people will see it on the television.
