WASHINGTON, DC – China’s President Hu Jintao will start a four-day visit to the United States on January 18.
Although Hu has been on several 'working visits' to Washington, his upcoming trip will be his first official 'state visit' since becoming president eight years ago. Given the great importance that China has traditionally attached to formalities, the Chinese government is repeatedly emphasizing that fact – and thus demonstrating its high expectations for the event.
