I'm watching the official welcome ceremony of President Hu Jintao to the White House on BBC and... I was able to understand a few chinese words!!
(In Pinyin) "Mei guo ren" means American people
and "Zhong guo ren" means Chinese people.
;)
More on Chinese language another day...

For the state dinner at the White House, Hu Jintao had been asked beforehand what he would like, and he'd suggested that they serve an American meal. Strangely, instead of a contemporary dinner (e.g., California cuisine), the menu was very retro -- Surf 'n' Turf (lobster and steak), double-stuffed baked potatoes, creamed spinach, and apple pie -- straight out of the 1950s-60s. Strange, indeed!
