-- In the past, other visiting Chinese leaders have
warmed American hearts by donning cowboy hats,
dancing the hula and belting out renditions of "O
Sole Mio," helping soften an impression of
robot-like communist
officials. 3.

The CEOs
were celebrating the purchase of over $1.2 billion
of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows software over the next
year, and the up and coming Olympic. It was a sign
of good faith as part of China's effort to curb
piracy before the start of China's Olympic games in
2008.
•
•
The April 18th 2006 red carpet welcome at the
Gates' futuristic home, featured a tour of
Microsoft's ultra-wired "Home of the Future," was
seen as a true genuine honor for Hu's being
present. Hu told Gates he was both a fan and
"friend of
Microsoft."
•
•
Hu made the Seattle area his first stop on a
three-day tour, which will include a meeting with
President Bush on Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Trade tensions are expected to take center stage.
•
•
Hu's Air China 747 touched down late Tuesday
morning in Everett, Wash., at the complex where
Boeing produces the jumbo jet. He was greeted by a
parade of Pacific Northwest dignitaries, including
Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire and Gary Locke,
her predecessor, who was the nation's first Chinese
American governor. Seattle moguls such as Howard
Schultz, the Starbucks chairman, were also on hand
to greet Hu, 63, and his wife, Liu Yongqing.
•
•
Arriving at Microsoft, Hu entered a conference
center decorated with Chinese and American flags,
and red banners with yellow Chinese characters that
said he was "warmly welcome" at Microsoft.
•
•
During the tour, Hu saw a display screen that
showed photographs of areas where he has worked and
lived, according to a pool report of the tour filed
by the Associated Press.
•
•
There were so many reporters and photographers
present at the event, about 125 in all, many from
Chinese news organizations, that there was no way
to accommodate all of them for the tour itself,
American and Chinese officials said.
•
•
In the kitchen of the Home of the Future, there was
a recipe in Chinese for making
focaccia.
•
•
Hu also watched a demonstration of a so-called
Tablet PC, a personal computer that has a pen-like
device for handwritten notes. Hu said that it was
difficult to type some mathematical equations, and
that a stylus could make it much easier to do such
work on a computer, according to the pool report.
•
•
Greeting children from Seattle's John Stanford
International School, who sang a song for him in
Chinese, Hu wrote in Chinese characters on the
Tablet PC: "Long live the Chinese-American
friendship."
•
•
In brief remarks as he left with Gates, Hu said
China would work to "protect intellectual property
rights," a reference to software and film piracy, a
major U.S.-China trade sticking point. Bootleg
versions of Windows and major Hollywood films are
widely available in China.
•
•
Hu was a guest Tuesday night for dinner at the home
of Gates and his wife, Melinda, on Lake Washington.
Gregoire was the official host of the event, which
was attended by about 100 people. Some guests paid
$20,000 for two invitations, with proceeds used to
defray security costs and other expenses for Hu's
visit. Among invitees who did not need to pony up
were former Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger.
•
•
Image makers say China faces a tougher sell with
President Hu Jintao, who lands in Seattle today on
the first leg of a three-stop U.S. visit. Though
China's fourth leader since 1949 is a serious,
careful man with a near-photographic memory,
spontaneity and off-the-cuff witticisms are not his
strong
suits.
•
•
Even close followers of Chinese politics can shed
little light on Hu Jintao, the man who took over as
Party leader in 2002 and is now president and
military chief as
well.
•
•
He has so far shown little of the charisma of his
predecessors, or their idiosyncracies, and has
sometimes appeared to follow rather than lead the
party
line.
•
•
Analysts agree that he has tried to give more
consideration to the plight of ordinary people, and
one of the key phrases associated with him has been
"yi ren wei ben", or putting people
first.
•
•
There has also been a little more openness, though
Mr Hu has made clear he has no interest in going so
far as countenancing Western-style political
reform.
•
•
Hu Jintao was born in 1942, and he is the first
leader whose party career began after the Communist
takeover in
1949.
•
•
Official biographies say he was born in eastern
Anhui province, and joined the party at the height
of the Cultural Revolution in 1964 when he was
studying hydroelectric engineering at Beijing's
prestigious Qinghua
University.
•
•
One entry - excised after he took over as Party
chief - mentioned his liking for table tennis and
ballroom
dancing.
•
•
After graduating, he worked his way up through the
ranks in the Ministry of Water Conservancy and
Power.
•
•
Deng blessing
_________
•
•
President Hu's party career began to take off after
Deng's rise to power in the late 1970s. He was one
of several young administrators promoted rapidly
because of their performance or
patrons.
•
•
He served in key posts in some of China's poorest
and most remote provinces, including Tibet and
Guizhou.
•
•
When Mr Hu returned to Beijing, he took over key
tasks such as handling personnel matters and
supervising the ideological training of top
officials.
•
•
The courses he introduced on market economics and
good governance have led some to speculate that he
is at heart a
reformer.
•
•
Whatever his instincts, he has always been a
faithful follower of the party
line.
•
•
But in the Chinese context, Hu, 63, is seen as one
of the country's more down-to-earth leaders, intent
on easing the plight of China's 700 million
peasants, and pictured in the state-run media
eating dumplings with poor farmers at Chinese New
Year.
•
•
"Hu spent Chinese New Year with the average Wangs,
but I think he has better instincts about Chinese
politics than American politics," said the Carnegie
Endowment's Pei. "In China, where you don't vote,
he plays the populist. In the United States, a
democracy, he
doesn't."
•
•
Hu is generally recognized as lacking flair
compared with predecessors Deng Xiaoping, who
donned a 10-gallon cowboy hat at a Texas rodeo in
1979, and Jiang Zemin, who swayed his hips with
Hawaiian schoolchildren during a 1997 stop; donned
minuteman garb at Williamsburg, Va.; and exercised
his vocal cords with "O Sole Mio" at a 2002
luncheon in San Francisco. Nor does Hu have former
Premier Zhu Rongji's charisma, humor or blunt
repartee.
•
•
There are a few hints of personality in Hu's
sanitized biographies, but not many. Born in 1942,
Hu officially hails from Jixi, a town in Anhui
province. But other published reports suggest his
hometown was Shanghai, or perhaps Taizhou in
Jiangsu
province.
•
• The discrepancy, according to one
biography,
reflects
efforts to distance Hu politically from his
predecessor, Jiang, born in Jiangsu province, in a
nation where regional associations remain
strong.
•
•
Hu came from a family of businessmen, a stigma in
communism's heyday. Former high school classmate Ju
Hongfu said in a 2002 interview that Hu's family
history forced him to try harder than others, given
the stigma of having a shopkeeper for a
father.
•
•
In a November 2002 interview, classmate Liu Bingxia
recalled the young Hu as carefully controlled,
studious and someone who always held his
temper.
•
•
After an early interest in medicine, Hu chose
hydraulic engineering upon entering Beijing's elite
Tsinghua University in 1959 and developed a
reputation as something of a "dancing prince
charmer," according to a biography co-written by
former aide Ren Zhichu. The dancing helped him
catch the eye of classmate Liu Yongqing, his future
wife.
•
•
Hu soon became active in the Communist Youth League
and joined the party in
1964.
•
•
Early in his career he was also known to like
singing. As he climbed the ladder, however, his
reputation for conservative, cautious competence
grew.
•
•
"I like to say his speeches don't spill a single
drop of water, a perfect quality in the communist
system," said one party member. "In China the more
cautious you are, the better your chances are of
climbing the
ladder."
•
•
Hu worked during the Cultural Revolution at a large
dam on the Yellow River. His career saw him spend
eight years in Gansu province, three in Guizhou
province and four in
Tibet.
•
•
His assignments in some of China's poorest areas
reportedly gave him an appreciation for the plight
of those at the bottom of society. He also
developed a reputation for meeting with farmers and
hearing about their problems directly rather than
relying on information filtered through party
channels. When called upon, he showed his mettle
&emdash; another key criterion for party leadership
&emdash; by presiding over a crackdown in
Tibet.
•
•
All that may not be an ideal background for the
assignment that image makers now say Hu should
pursue: looking as relaxed and approachable as
possible on camera and speaking some English even
if it's not perfect, to make a direct connection
with Americans. Ideally, he should also find an
opportunity to act spontaneously, preferably using
a bit of self-deprecating humor, they
say.
•
•
Such moves are not second nature to Chinese
leaders, who rise through a top-down system that
places a premium on ceremony, control and careful
planning to maintain the dignity of the leader and,
by extension, the nation.
