  Wonder what the leader of the most atheist political system in the world think of religious temples.

  Hu and Japanese students will talk about Confucian sense of value (e.g. HARMONY). They will probably also talk about Japanese sense of value – physical suicide – and Chinese – cultural suicide. I understand their unique sense of death with dignity, but please do not involve anyone except Han and Yamato.

  Hu Jintao is , of course, the political leader of one of the world’s most powerful countries. If any serious discussion is possible, then Hu and students should be able to discuss both countries’ current policies.

  China today is the land of infinite opportunities, free of depression. China probably have wider latitude of business freedom than Japan which is, on the other hand, the land of restrictions. Japan today becomes a wealthy country. Japanese now have freedom of speech against their own government (but not against private entities). We can freely criticize Ishihara, Aso, or Fukuda if we want to do so.

  Both countries have good policies and bad policies. Hu might be able to suggest good policies for Japan to remove many restrictions from its people. Hu and students should also be able to discuss good alternatives for China's minority policies and human right policies. The problem is this is not likely to happen in reality.
