China hopes for continuity as Clinton visits

"Chinese officials are hoping for signs of continuity in the relationship, which was nonconfrontational and even collegial during George W. Bush's second term.
"We think relations will remain basically stable and don't expect or hope for any major changes," said Zhu Feng, director of the Center for International and Strategic Studies at Peking University.
Clinton is due to arrive in Beijing on Friday evening at the end of a weeklong trip to Asia that also has included Japan, Indonesia and South Korea.
Her early remarks on China have set a mild tone. The U.S. needs a "positive and cooperative" relationship with Beijing, she told lawmakers at her confirmation hearing last month.
In a speech at the Asia Society in New York on Sunday, she vowed not to shy away from discussing human rights but stressed that Washington has a "very broad agenda to deal with when it comes to dealing with China."

I thought this was relevant to our class discussions since we had previously mentioned the last time Hilary visited China that her speech was censored. Wonder if they will censor her again?
