BEIJING - Chinese news reports made no mention Friday of the protester who interrupted President Hu Jintao's visit with President Bush or a White House announcer flubbing China's official name. But ordinary Chinese commenting on Web sites accused President Bush of insulting Hu.

"You can see from Bush's lack of respect for foreign leaders just how lacking he is in class," said a posting on a bulletin board run by the People's Daily, the main Communist Party newspaper.

State television devoted half of its 30-minute noon news Friday to Hu's White House visit, showing him making a speech and chatting with Bush.

While U.S. media featured the protester, who had obtained temporary press credentials as a reporter for a Falun Gong newspaper and pleaded with Bush to stop Hu from persecuting the banned spiritual movement, the incident was absent from official Chinese reports.

"Announcing the 'Republic of China' ... is an insult to the People's Republic and its government," said a posting on the People's Daily site.

On washeng.net, a Chinese-language Web site hosted overseas, postings accused the White House of intentionally allowing in the protester.

2. I never thought I'd agree with a Chinese Comunist over a US

Prez, but I do this time!

This man has singlehandedly made me ashamed so many times, I've lost count!

Please accept our appologies, Mr. Jintao.

3. Ahhh...that's Bush.

Never misses a chance to insult someone, somehow, somewhere.

Don't forget the Eskimos. I'm sure he rubbed them the wrong way recently.
