Michelle Obama will look to dispel growing mistrust between the United States and China through a weeklong tour of the Asian power focused deliberately on soft issues, officials said Monday.
Accompanied by her two daughters and mother, the US first lady will head Wednesday on a tour to some of China's most celebrated sites including the Great Wall, the ancient terracotta warrior sculptures of Xian and a panda preserve.
White House officials said that Michelle Obama would not take up the myriad disputes between the two nations but would instead speak about educational exchanges and emphasize US goodwill toward the Chinese people.
"I think it is important to break through that mistrust and the first lady's visit is an opportunity to do that," Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, told reporters.
The Chinese public's opinion of the United States has significantly worsened from highs when President Barack Obama took office in 2009. Forty percent of Chinese had a favorable opinion of the United States in last year's Pew Research Center survey -- a figure far below that in Western and African nations but still higher than the rate in most of the Islamic world.

She's not looking to "dispel" anything, just take yet another international vacation that costs her nothing.
Sure...She’ll get off the plane and their going to say, Michelle who???’
Whatever. She needs to stay home and cook. That’s what she told everybody else to do.
Are you tripping? This low-rent, ghetto trash of a woman couldn’t calm a pack of wild dogs. Now she’s going to do foreign policy?
most everyone who knows anything about Mrs. Obama does not trust her or have any confidence in her.
Phat-taz.
Aw, CRAP! Can’t she just stay in the White Hut and phone it in…. like her husband does all day?
I hope they trust her more than we do.
I think all those Ewoks can tear the Wookie’s arm off.

She has all the class and dignity of a moose locked in a chevy vega.

Okay, that’s enough for today... there’s the bell.

I don’t think the Chinese are dumb enough to fall for her BS. Besides, the Chinese don’t suffer from “white guilt”.
Telling them ......what exactly?
To “calm” them?

LOL, Now we know where Barry’s went.
If she wants to ease mistrust, she needs to chuck Reggie Love out of the Hut, the same way Hillary! had to do with Barbra Streisand. It’s not brain surgery people.
OMG - what IS that?
“I suspect the Chinese will treat Mooch-elle with consummate class and correctness and neither she nor her vulgar handlers will ever realize how the Chinese courtesies are dripping with veiled contempt. “
Not to mention what they’re going to say about her and her husband behind her back. Man, how I’d like to be a Chinese fly on the wall after her meetings are over and they’ve got her safely tucked back in her hotel suite.
