U.S. president says China can have confidence in America's economy
U.S. President Barack Obama assured on Saturday that China can have confidence in the American economy after meeting with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the White House.
"Not just the Chinese government, but every investor can have absolute confidence in the soundness of investments in the United States," Obama said.
"There is a reason why even in the midst of this economic crisis you have seen actual increases in investment flows here in the U.S.," he said.
Obama also noted the U.S. will push for stricter regulation of the financial industry "front and center" at the upcoming G20 summit in London, playing down suggestions of a rift between the Europe and the United States over whether more emphasis should be placed on stimulus or financial regulatory reform.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said earlier Friday he is "a little bit worried" about the safety of Chinese assets in the United States, urging the U.S. government to ensure the security of those assets.
"We lent such huge fund to the United States and of course we're concerned about the security of our assets and, to speak truthfully, I am a little bit worried," Wen told a press conference after the close of the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
China has invested its huge foreign exchange reserves in low-risk but low-yield assets, such as U.S. government bonds, to play it safe.
According to the U.S. Treasury, China held 681.9 billion U.S. dollars worth of U.S. government bonds as of November.
"China is indeed the largest creditor of the United States, which is the world's biggest economy. We are extremely interested in developments in the U.S. economy," said Wen, adding that he is expecting the effect of the measures taken by the U.S. government to counter the global financial crisis.
Asked to react to Wen's concern, Lawrence Summers, director of the U.S. National Economic Council, noted on Friday that U.S. would be "sound stewards of the money we invest."
"This is a commitment that the president has made very clear --we need to be sound stewards of the money we invest," said Summers in a speech at the Brookings Institution, a leading think tank in the United States.

Summers, asked to react to Wen's concern during Friday's speech, noted that the United States had to utilize all resources available at present to jolt its economy from prolonged recession."
He also said the current crisis has led to an "excess of fear" among Americans that must be broken to reverse the downturn.
"Fear begets fear," said the former treasury secretary in Clinton administration. "What we need today is more optimism and more confidence."

"Beautiful life" (A story about the real Tibet)
In 2004, I drove to many places in Tibet, including some remote areas where tourists were a rarity. In those places, everything we saw was so beautiful: the most untouched natural scenery, the unadorned Tibetan countryside and the hearty smiles of sincere and honest faces. I was deeply impressed by a trip to a far-off little village, which was inhabited by just three or four households. It was so surprising that we could use our mobile phones there. Just unbelievable in such a remote place in Tibet!
In 2007, I went to Tibet because of an attraction to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. I simply wanted to personally experience it. Traveling on the train was very comfortable, and I was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery during the entire ride. I thought the Chinese government was really great to have built a railway across the "roof of the world."
I have always believed that people who have yet to visit Tibet have no right to criticize the region, because they do not understand the real Tibet or the efforts the Chinese government has made for its construction and development. I have many friends in Tibet, and gradually, they have become well off through trading arts and crafts between Tibet and Beijing. With the growing economic integration of Tibet and Chinese mainland, beautiful lives can be seen on the faces of the people. From their smiles, I can read their heartfelt joys. I wish a better tomorrow for the development of Tibet!

Inventory in 2009 the top ten security threats facing
There are three things in life can not wait人生有三件事情不能等
第二:梦想不能等,因为人生的阶段不同,会有不同的历练和想法,试想一个问题,如果你二十岁的梦想60岁才实现,那会是什么样的一个情况???
譬如说你二十岁时候的梦想是买一辆法拉利跑车,然后到德国的无限速公路狂飚,你一直努力工作,好不容易到了60岁,总算买的起跑车了,但要 实现年轻时候的梦想,恐怕也是心有余而力不足吧.
第三:家人;家人不能等,或许我们还年轻,未来有很多时间可以让我们摸索、打拼,但是家人吗?他们还有时间等我们成功吗???还有时间等我们挣到钱,让他们过好日子,让他们以我们为荣???
树欲静而风不止,子欲养而亲不待……这是很多人的痛,也是很多人一辈子的遗憾。
人的上半生,要不犹豫
人的下半生,要不后悔
活在当下,把握每次机会,因为机会稍纵即逝,为自己的生命找到出路。
急事,慢慢说
大事,清楚的说
小事,幽默的说
没把握的事,谨慎的说
没发生的事,不要胡说
做不到的事,别乱说
伤害人的事,不能说
讨厌的事,对事不对人的说
开心的事,看场合的说
伤心的事,不要见人就说
别人的事,小心的说
自己的事,听听自己的心怎么说
现在的事,做了再说
未来的事,未来再说
