U.S. President George W. Bush will make a formal visit
to 皇冠体育app from November 19-21, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Thursday,
amid simmering U.S. concern over 皇冠体育app's growing economic and military clout.

Bush will also fly to South Korea, Japan and Mongolia.
Senior U.S. officials have expressed concern about 皇冠体育app's drive to lock up
oil and raw material supplies from around the world, including from countries,
like Iran, with which the United States is in conflict.
Booming 皇冠体育app is the world's third-largest importer of oil.
Bush, who previously visited Beijing in 2001 and 2002, is going to 皇冠体育app at
the invitation of Chinese President Hu Jintao, who has worked with the United
States, South Korea, Japan and Russia to persuade North Korea to halt its
nuclear weapons programs.
"Generally in this kind of important meeting, the two leaders will exchange
in-depth views on bilateral relations and major international and regional
issues," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Kong Quan told a regular news
briefing in Beijing.
