  • Obama Speaks after Yet Another Mass Shooting

    James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
    The White House
    6:22 P.M. EDT, Oct. 1, 2015

    THE PRESIDENT: There’s been another mass shooting in America — this time, in a community college in Oregon.

    That means there are more American families — moms, dads, children — whose lives have been changed forever. That means there’s another community stunned with grief, and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish, and parents across the country who are scared because they know it might have been their families or their children.

  • Xi Jinping Quotes Kissinger, MLK Jr. in Speech at Welcoming Dinner in Seattle

    （Speech by Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China At the Welcoming Dinner Hosted by Local Governments And Friendly Organizations in the United States）

    Seattle, 22 September 2015

    Dr. Henry Kissinger, Governor Jay Inslee of the State of Washington, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Mayor Ed Murray of Seattle, Chairwoman Carla Hills of the National Committee on US-China Relations, Chairman Mark Fields of the US-China Business Council, ladies and gentlemen, dear Friends,

    Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Dr. Kissinger, for your kind introduction. Dr. Kissinger has always been able to come up with some new observations. His introduction has really given me a new perspective to look at myself. It is great to be among so many friends, old and new, in the State of Washington and the City of Seattle, the first leg of my state visit to the United States. Let me begin by extending to you and, through you, to all the American people, my cordial greetings and best wishes.

    I am no stranger to the State of Washington and the City of Seattle. Known as the Evergreen State and the Emerald City, here you have got the majestic Mt. Rainier and the charming Lake Washington. The film Sleepless in Seattle has made the city almost a household name in China. Besides, Washington is the leading state in US export to China and China the number one trading partner of the Port of Seattle. Washington and Seattle have become an important symbol of the friendship between Chinese and American people and the win-win cooperation between the two countries.
