"It's important for our political leaders to come to China," said Bush, who gave a speech on Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China.
His working visit to China and discussions with Qinghua students "help promote" Sine-US relations, Bush said in response to a student's question about what he would do to promote Sine-US relations.
"Many people in my country are very interested in China," he said, adding that these Americans want to learn more about China's culture and the Chinese people.
He said that he would keep encouraging such contacts and exchanges between the two countries.
Bush said that he would describe back home what he had seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a "great history" but also an "unbelievably exciting future."
The president said that the 2008 Olympic Games would make a significant opportunity for the rest of the world to understand China, which enables more people to come to China and feel the modernization taking place, and many more people will see it on the television.
Bush arrived in Beijing on Thursday for a two-day working visit to China.

A teenager says he convinced the White House he was Iceland's president and managed to schedule a call with George W. Bush but was found out before he got to talk to the U.S. president.
"My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush's secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening," Vifill Atlason, 16, told the reporters.
The teenager posed as Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson when he made the call on Dec 1.
Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later—the day of the planned call—and took him in for questioning.
The teenager said he was unable to recall where he discovered the telephone number for the White House.
At a White House news conference Monday, Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line "that anybody can call" according to a transcript.
Local police confirmed the National Security Unit at the national police headquarters had asked them to bring Atlason in.
Washington
The U.S. Senate late on Thursday approved a broad energy bill to increase the fuel efficiency of U. S. cars and trucks by Congress for the first time since 1975 and significantly boost production of renewable motor fuels like ethanol.
The modified bill was approved 86 to 8 and now goes to the full House of Representatives for a vote, expected next week, on the changes the Senate made to the legislation. If approved by the House, as is likely, the measure will then be sent to President George W. Bush.
Shortly after the Senate vote, the White House said the president would sign the bill into law.
The legislation would raise fuel efficiency of cars and trucks by 40 percent to an average 35 miles per gallon by 2020, cutting U.S. oil demand by 1.1 million barrels a day.
Kyoto
Business sentiment among big Japanese manufacturers has sunk to a two-year low, a Bank of Japan survey showed on Friday, reinforcing expectations that any rise in interest rates will be delayed to late next year.
Rising raw material costs, plummeting construction activity because of tighter building rules and fears of a U.S. recession due to the credit crisis all played a part in eroding optimism.
But the BOJ's December tankan survey also showed companies are sticking to robust capital spending plans, and sentiment at small manufacturers showed a surprising improvement.
"The outlook has sharply deteriorated, and the risk of economic downturn has increased," said Yasuhiro Onakado, chief economist at Daiwa SB Investments. "A rate hike by the Bank of Japan may have to wait until after the middle of next year."
Gaza
About 30 Israeli tanks and armored vehicles pushed into the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Tuesday, sparking clashes with Palestinians in which five militants were killed, medics and militant groups said.
Residents said the raid, a day before Israel and Palestinians are due to hold their first talks since relaunching a U.S.-backed peace push, was the largest in their area since Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the territory in 2005.
Four Islamic Jihad gunmen were killed in clashes with Israeli ground forces and an air strike killed a local commander from the Popular Resistance Committees, a coalition of militant groups, medics and residents said.
Fifteen Palestinians, many of them gunmen, were also wounded in the incursion, which a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas described as a "heinous crime" that undermined the peace process.
Los Angeles
Hollywood directors said on Thursday they will seek to start contract talks with major film studios in January, giving striking screenwriters more time to restart their own stalled negotiations.
Industry watchers believe the launch of Directors Guild of America

New York's streets were covered by people dressed in elephant costumes (服装)and others waving anti war posters with pictures of U. S. President George W. Bush on them last week. But this was no carnival (狂欢节)— it was the Republican Party's National Convention (共和党全国大会), which attracted thousands of protestors (抗议者). It was the largest protest ever at a U. S. political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29. They demanded that the U. S. leave Iraq and a new president be chosen.
The Republicans say the opposition — Democrat Party (民主党) encouraged the people on to the streets. They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2. The election is described as "the decisive battle between donkey and elephant". The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the U.S. The elephant represents (象征) the Republicans, whose candidate (候选人) , President George W. Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term. The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House.
Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative (守旧的). In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn (倔强的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous.
The Republicans have been sending e-mails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, "An Elephant Never Forgets", said party spokeswoman Heather Layman. Elephants are known for their long memories. The e-mails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his words.
It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nest, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century. During the election in 1874, Nest drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lion's skin frightened an elephant marked "Republican".
In the passage, the donkey stands for ______.
A．the White House
B．the Republicans
C．the Democrats
D．John Kerry
