betty: the american public still have a mistrust of the chinese. pew center poll recently said 54% of americans view china unfavorably. how does the president plan to change that perception? mr. yang: the results of opinion polls vary from time to time and from place to place. my understanding of american society is that there is a deep awareness of the importance of nurturing better relationship between our two countries. so i believe that the american people attach a great deal of importance to the visit. of course, we have had some early harvest of this new model of the relationship between us. for instance, the trade between the two countries has grown quite a bit, and there are more student exchanges between us. and on the international scene, there has been good coordination between china and the united states, from the middle east to some parts of africa. from afghanistan to the korean peninsula. so a better relationship is in the interest of both of our peoples and the world. of course, a relationship cannot be free from any problems. even

my chinese dealers and my chinese service people interact with chinese customers. difference? betty: they would say they know the people. they are chinese. sheldon: oh, they know all the people? really? i can't be a successful businessman if i don't respect who and what my customer is. the integrated resorts are a commercial enterprise. the measurement of success is the bottom-line profit. why are we several times more profitable than each one of them? betty: some casino watchers warn there is a bubble of hotels forming in macau that is about to burst. fears of a smoking ban and stricter visa rules have investors worried that the inflow of tourists may slow down. but rather than wait, they are doubling down. they are spending $26 billion on new resorts, doubling hotel capacity. they won't stop there. these casino titans want to score big in the rest of asia. lawrence: japan is the holy grail at this stage. they have pachinkos. pachinkos are like slot parlors. but technically you don't win money, you win prizes. very popular. an amusement-type industry. that industr
