i am sure when you're out in public people ask you wu think. would you like to win those debates? would you like to influence the way people think? that is what this book is all about -- not just to influence the debate, but to win the debate. host: mitt romney spoke in new hampshire yesterday, beginning to ramp up his candidacy. guest: and glad that it was a strip mall. i was waiting for the word that came after strip. what is interesting about romney, his communication, that when you ask people about the substance, he won the debate. when you ask about the style, he did not. what he is trying to do now is become more familiar, trying to use is more casual attributes, which you really is in private life, but you do not see it in public. he is trying to demonstrate it is not the brain that he has, but also the heart. in 2012, you do not win unless you demonstrate your intellectual capability as well as year end that the -- empathy. host: some say this. guest: the first is ridiculous at this point. the people who vote on religion is so small that it is measurable and the survey. ev

wu dawei said in an interview with xinhua that nobody wants to put any preconditions on the resumption of six-party talks. what's your response? >> well, we want to see any dialogue be constructive, so i don't -- i'm not sure you call it a precondition. we just want to make sure that there's a firm understanding among all of the parties and an expectation that progress can be made. and as we've said, one of our indicators to demonstrate that it will be fruitful to have these kinds of conversations would be a seriousness of purpose -- a demonstrated seriousness of purpose by north korea. and one way to demonstrate that would be to improve and reduce tensions that currently exist between north and south korea. >> and one more on north korea. a south korean high-level intelligence official told the lawmakers in seoul that kim jong-un has been officially invited by china to visit beijing. we don't know when. are you concerned about the report? >> i don't know why we'd be concerned about reports. >> any response -- >> north korean leaders go to china all the time. >> but it's kim jong-un, n
