Hu says China not seeking arms race or domination

The following from the BBC. (please follow link to original)

Of course what he says translates into a version of, "We will bury you" -- without any shoe pounding. I hope he's wrong. (notice, at no point did I refer to, "Hu's on first?" -- aren't you proud of me?)

Hu Jintao: ''Working together hand-in-hand we will build and develop a China-US co-operative partnership''

Hu Jintao in Washington


Chinese President Hu Jintao has said China has no interest in pursuing an arms race or exerting military dominance over other nations.

On the third day of his visit to the US, Mr Hu called for co-operation on economic and security issues.

Mr Hu met leading US politicians and was quizzed on a number of issues, before departing for Chicago.

There he was to meet Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and other business and political leaders.

Mr Daley has visited China four times since 2004 and has promoted the city, America's third-largest, as a global transportation hub with a large and capable manufacturing sector.

Chicago is Mr Hu's only stop in the US outside the US capital.
