Michelle Obama Looks to Ease Mistrust on China Trip

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.

Well, that goes without saying... :-) , but what do the two kids have to do with foreign policy...I know... just shut up comrade and go back to work, we need your tax dollars to pay for this and future trips. I am so sick of these people and the other elites in DC are making me angry too.

[Cold Heat]

but what do the two kids have to do with foreign policy

They have nothing to do with it, but if we label the trip as a policy trip, they can tag along free as well as she...100% government paid vaycay!

[Conservative4Ever]

Well, I sorta knew that...just trying to state the obvious. Geez, but I’m getting so tired of these people.

What is really funny, is that many of the die hard libs are also tired of him.

This woman is a dangerous stupid idiot!!! There is ALWAYS mistrust between Chinese and . In my dealings with Chinese there is one thing that is most important and that is "face". This big fat Fluke of a cow is going to head off to China and bad mouth the USA. The Chinese are like the Arabs and Persians. The one thing you do not do is badmouth your own family (tribe for Arabs and Persians). These skid mark Obamas have badmouthed this country from day one. NOTHING good will come of this. Our relation with China will be worse when the Moochelle train comes home. This woman is a vile creature that will only bring shame and disgrace to the USA.
