Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State said "I appreciate greatly the Chinese government's continuing confidence in the United States treasuries. I think that's a well-grounded confidence. We have every reason to believe that the United States and China will recover, and together we will help to lead the global recovery."

Yang Jiechi said China will conduct dialogue on human rights issues with the US, on the basis of mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs.
