Chapter 919 (1/2)

Washington, USA.

It's April 26, Friday.

In the briefing room of the White House, Bill Clinton has reduced the number of personal press conferences he presided over since falling into the whirlpool of the Paula Jones case. Today is the first time in the last two months.

Because it's a good time.

Today, we will not be asked by reporters whether Kenneth Starr has made any mistakes, or whether the single veto just obtained some time ago is unconstitutional.

The number of times the president personally presides over the individual press conference is decided by the individual according to the schedule, and there is no mandatory regulation.

However, Clinton is a politician who is very good at marketing his personal public image. He knows that there are many advantages in maintaining proper direct contact with the media. In the two years before taking office, Clinton basically maintained a very stable frequency of hosting a personal press conference once a month. Only in the past year or so has he had to reduce the frequency to about once every two months.

With the click of the shutter, the first reporter of the Washington Post, as Clinton imagined, asked an expected question: ”Mr. President, how do you evaluate Simon westero's visit to China this week?”

Clinton showed a long-standing friendly smile and affirmed: ”this is a great business visit. Simon's exchanges with Chinese officials will bring the economic cooperation between China and the United States into a new stage. Moreover, it will be a win-win situation. The recent week's stock market growth of the federal government is the most direct proof.”

It's a very conventional answer.

When the second reporter got up, the question was not so friendly: ”Mr. President, is it reasonable for China to treat Simon westero with the courtesy of receiving the head of state?”

As the reporter spoke, many people paid close attention to the possible micro expressions on Clinton's face without blinking.

Unfortunately, everyone is doomed to be disappointed, and the president's expression is still impeccable: ”China does receive Simon with a high standard, but I think Simon's achievements deserve it. What's more, we all know that compared with the official state visit, the difference is very obvious. I hope you don't deliberately mislead the public. ”

”Mr. President, do you have a plan to visit China at present? If so, will your visiting team exceed Simon westero?”

”No, my first term has been focused on restoring the federal domestic economy. If possible, I hope to visit China in my second term, ”Clinton said with a smile, adding:” as for the size of the visiting team, considering the interests of taxpayers, I will try my best to save money. ”

”Mr. President, it is said that Simon westero's visit to China cost 12 million US dollars. Do you think it is a kind of extravagance that should be condemned?”

”I don't think there are so many, and I don't understand where you get the data, so it's not convenient to comment.”

In fact, we all know that the two questions just now are somewhat provocative.

Simon's visit is so large that it will be very expensive.

However, because it is the Chinese government's initiative to invite, it is very interesting to know who will pay for these expenses. Although someone is rich and powerful, he is not a big wrongdoer. What's more, if a visit by Simon westero can bring such a boost to the national economy, let alone 12 million US dollars, it is worth ten times.

Another reporter stood up, still impolite: ”Mr. President, will this visit of westero prompt Washington to speed up negotiations with China on its accession to the WTO?”

”No,” Clinton shook his head decisively. ”At present, our negotiation with China on joining the world trade organization is still in its infancy. The federal government will be very cautious about this negotiation, so as to absolutely ensure the interests of the American people.”

”So, Mr. President, China's accession to the WTO is a foregone conclusion. The only problem is the specific terms of the contract?”

”China, a huge market with a population of 1.2 billion, will benefit the whole world by joining the WTO. I am looking forward to introducing China into the WTO on the premise of protecting the interests of all WTO members, but I have to say that this is not a foregone conclusion. It all depends on whether China shows enough sincerity. ”

”Mr. President, what do you think of the impact of the” westero effect ”on Asian stock markets?”

Clinton's face changed into a proper smile, but the words did not leave: ”I have noticed this since a few years ago, which is very interesting. But frankly, I think it's just an overreaction from the market. Asian countries have always been long-term partners of the Federation, and their economic development is very good. ”

The topic of Simon's trip to China lasted for nearly an hour, and all the questions prepared by the reporters were answered. When he noticed that someone was beginning to lead in a less pleasant direction, Clinton announced the end of the press conference decisively.

Leaving the briefing room of the White House, a White House intern with black hair, short stature and plump figure came up and handed Clinton a piece of information, saying: ”Mr. President, the vice president has been waiting for you in the Oval Office.”Clinton nodded, took advantage of the opportunity of the girl close to him, grabbed a hand behind each other, whispered: ”come to me after dinner.”

The intern subconsciously looked behind him. The other two white house staff members came out of the briefing room together. They just turned a blind eye to the president's action. The intern blushed a little, but agreed to follow Clinton to the Oval Office.

An intern named Monica Lewinsky handed in Clinton's latest support survey.

Clinton bent his head while walking, and quickly combed in his mind whether there were any mistakes in the answers just given at the press conference.

The results were satisfactory.

Especially the support figures in the report.

Kenneth Starr's investigation into the Paula Jones case not only failed to hit his public support rate, but even played a counter effect. At present, the figure has reached the highest level of 61.5% since he took office. As long as there is no big accident, the re-election is almost certain.

Reelection is also Clinton's top priority.

Everything else has to stand aside.

On the other hand, the report in hand is actually an online survey from igrit.

Different from a small amount of sampling error of entity survey company, the accuracy of support rate report based on network data analysis is very high. Clinton is also clear that the westero system regularly provides itself with these documents that are not enough for humanity. In fact, they are a kind of reminder.

At the personal press conference just now, Clinton always showed great propriety.

However, it is impossible to say that he did not envy or even envy that young man's grand visit to China. However, Clinton's strong psychological quality has successfully resolved all these negative emotions.

Because it doesn't make sense to understand.

If it can not be resolved, or even evolved into practical action, it will only bring trouble to him.

Clinton, one of the most powerful people in the world, has never been as relaxed as the outside world imagined. His distinctive goal oriented character makes him always understand what he needs and doesn't need, so he won't accumulate these meaningless emotions.

Clinton knows that the only thing he has to do is to continue his power to the greatest extent.

The first is the second term.

Then, like the Bush family, the Clinton family will be built into a prosperous and powerful political family.
