Chinese President Hu Jintao comes face to face with some of his critics in severe exercise on Congress Thursday to visit high-stakes for the United States.
Hu was to meet with U.S. congressional leaders is often a source of attacks in a ring on China's human rights record and economic policy and sharp criticism of his role in the nuclear standoffs in Iran and North Korea.
Barack Obama President Hu urged to adopt "universal rights" and push Beijing to establish a "level playing field" for U.S. companies in China and combat intellectual piracy is unlikely to appease the wrath of Congress.
But the message from Congress was likely to be less conciliatory.
The historically high unemployment rate in the United States and an unpopular war in Afghanistan a decade with China rising economic and military, have fueled the story of the decline of the United States and fueled resentment among citizens of the United States in Beijing.
Visiting Chinese leader should sit separately at the Republican House Speaker John Boehner - the third-ranking official of the United States elected - and the Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The two legislators have declined the invitation to Obama to attend a formal gala dinner in honor of Hu at the White House Wednesday, saying they planned to hold talks with him the day Next.
Mitch McConnell Senate Republican minority leader, recently returned from a trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan also refused to participate in flashy case.
Designed to be the home state of Kentucky on Thursday, Hu is missing altogether.
And Reid raised eyebrows Tuesday when he told a television reporter in his home state of Nevada that Hu Jintao was "a dictator" - before quickly regrets says.
"I want to return to Washington to meet with President of China. He is a dictator. It can do many things by the government they have, "Reid said on television KSNV.
"Maybe I should not say" dictator ", but they have another type of government we have - to put it mildly," said Reid.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a frequent, vocal critic of China's human rights record, to attend the state dinner, and a mutual House leadership meeting on Thursday, his office said.
The statement said: "Since the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, has been on both sides of Congress care about the human rights situation in China and Tibet, the Chinese government to support a rogue state and China's unfair trade practices, which swelled the trade deficit of $ 5,000,000,000 per year, five billion dollars a week. "
Climate change and clean energy, was also set to play a key role, Pelosi added.
"It is my hope that the visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao to the United States is characterized by openness and progress on these issues."
House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, was designed by the hand, Hu copy of the letter he wrote to Obama called would not accept "insurance superficial" Hu "security, human rights and economic issues."
"We need leadership that will inspire Americans to address global challenges in the rapid rise of China," Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican, said in a letter published in his office.
And 84 legislators from both major U.S. parties Obama wrote a letter declaring him to clarify that the historically high unemployment rate, "American patience is nearing the end" with China for alleged unfair competition.
"We can no longer tolerate China has ignored" the rules of international trade, said the group, led by Republican Representative Thaddeus McCotter, Democratic Representative Mike Michaud.
Other lawmakers have warned that it will introduce legislation to combat what they perceive is Beijing's strategy of keeping its currency, and therefore its exports artificially cheap relative to their U.S. competitors.
Some of his colleagues denounced human rights record in China, citing Beijing's imprisonment, Liu Xiaobo Nobel Prize.
