his message to 皇冠体育app and the Chinese people was: "We want to have good relations
with you."
In an exclusive interview with Hong Kong's Phoenix Television in Washington,
which was telecast yesterday, Bush stressed that the Sino-US relationship is
"important" and "good," and described 皇冠体育app as a "big, powerful nation."
The US president reiterated that "it's in our interest that we share ideas
and work together."
He was speaking on the eve of his third official visit to 皇冠体育app on November

in 2001 and Beijing in 2002 after he was elected president.

Working together
"There's a lot of areas where we may not have full agreement, but,
nevertheless, are able to discuss our disagreements in a very cordial way," he
said.
Besides issues such as free trade, the value of the Chinese currency,
intellectual property rights and the war on terror, the Chinese and US leaders
have "a fantastic opportunity" to work together for a nuclear weapons-free
Korean Peninsula, he said.
This "will lay a foundation for peace in the region and
the hemisphere."
