When speaking about U.S. foreign relations, President Obama has said that “there must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground.” In this spirit, I would like to relay your feedback on the President’s speech back to Washington, DC. Please reply to this email ([email protected]) by Monday noon and tell me: 1) What is your reaction to President Obama’s speech? 2) How do you think the President’s speech will be viewed in Hong Kong and Beijing? 3) President Obama’s Cairo Speech was seen as a transformative event in U.S. relations with the Muslim world. Do you think the Asia speech will have a similar impact on the countries in Asia?
A similar impact on the countries in Asia?
