BEIJING, August 10 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text is of remarks by President Bush and Premier Wen Jiabao of the People's Republic of China before meeting:

 

Zhongnanhai Compound

Beijing, The People's Republic of China  

3:15 P.M. (Local)

 

PREMIER WEN:  (As translated.)  Mr. President, welcome to Beijing.  I also welcome your family members and other friends from the United States to the Beijing Olympic Games.

 

I was informed that yesterday you went to see the American athletes in Beijing and you also watched a match played by the U.S. women basketball team.  You also spent some time with the beach volleyball players.  (Laughter.)

 

 I think this evening the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team will capture the attention of people from all over the world.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  That's right.

 

PREMIER WEN:  I'm very happy that you're going to watch the match.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  Yes, sir.  I'm going with the Foreign Minister.  (Laughter.)  He's going -- he told me he's going to be yelling there at the top of his lungs.  (Laughter.)

 

Thank you for your hospitality.  It's been a wonderful experience being here.  I didn't see if you were at the Opening Ceremonies.

 

PREMIER WEN:  Yes, I was there.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  Well, it was fantastic -- really well done.

 

PREMIER WEN:  Yes, the Opening Ceremonies spectacular*.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  Unbelievable, yes.

 

PREMIER WEN:  When the U.S. team marched into the stadium I saw that you put back your coat and your suit and then you stood up and cheered for your team.

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  Yes, sir.  I was proud to see them.  But I bet you did the same thing when the Chinese team came.  (Laughter.)

 

PREMIER WEN:  Yes, yes --

 

PRESIDENT BUSH:  Good.

 

END  3:18 P.M. (Local)
