Major global media outlets swiftly reported the Chinese president's views, which were attracting a lot of attention.

In Chicago, Leo Melamed, chairman emeritus of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, said Hu's visit to the city makes him feel very proud. He also said the exchange center has established close ties with the Chinese financial circle over the past years and would continue to make unremitting efforts to maintain and develop the friendly ties.

In Australia, Christine Edward, a member of the local press, closely followed Hu's visit on television. Edward said China-U.S. trade relations, despite many problems, enjoy more cooperation opportunities, and it is good for both sides to boost exchanges.

During the visit, President Hu reiterated that the two nations already have a foundation for mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, and they should adopt a strategic way of thinking, scrap a zero-sum game, and seek more common interests.

The management of Boeing Civilian Products headquarters based in San Francisco said Boeing's business with relevant Chinese companies best exemplifies mutually beneficial and win-win U.S.-China cooperation.

Wang Yong, director of the Center for International Political Economy of Peking University, said that after the global financial crisis, more and more U.S. companies are regarding China's economic rise as a good opportunity for their development.

Wang said bilateral economic exchanges, instead of being a zero-sum game, can yield mutually beneficial fruits.

Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming, who is accompanying Hu during his visit, said Wednesday a lot of deals between the two countries will be signed during Hu's visit, including Chinese purchases of U.S. products worth a total of 24.9 billion U.S. dollars, which testifies to the importance of Sino-U.S. trade relations.

In Argentina, the largest newspaper Clarin said in a commentary that President Hu's visit would significantly boost China-U.S. cooperation.

In Spain, the leading newspaper El Pais said China and the United States, two "giants," have strengthened economic ties to support bilateral ties.
