My comment:
(a) The report states, "彭博新闻社说，这次美中高层会晤是应温家宝总理的请求举行的。* * * 彭博新闻社说，奥巴马对付中国的方法已经走上了'新的道路，' 策略之一就是联合中国周边邻国，共同向中国施压，要求中国'遵守贸易规则。' 报道援引ING集团亚洲研究中心负责人康顿的话说，美国对中国的施压'正在加剧，'  '中国不能忽视美国的态度。'"

Margaret Talev, Obama’s Asia Pivot Puts U.S. Approach to China on New Path. Bloomberg News, Nov 19, 2011

is as follows:

"President Barack Obama’s pivot toward Asia is shifting the U.S. approach to China by teaming up with its neighbors to press the world’s second-largest economy to 'play by the rules.'

“'U.S. pressure on China has intensified,' said Tim Condon, Singapore-based head of Asian research at ING Groep NV, saying the shift has 'startled' the Chinese. 'China can’t ignore the U.S. stance. The only question is how they interpret it.'

"Today’s meeting between Obama and Wen came at Wen’s request and they spoke about currency and business practices, White House National Security Adviser Tom Donilon told reporters in Bali. Donilon said the discussions 'briefly' touched on the South China Sea

My comment: In the translation, this is said, "他 [达赖喇嘛] 说，'确实有很多人受苦。可自焚有什么用呢？汉人只会以更严厉的方式回应。'  The corresponding quotation in the English-language original is: "'But a lot of people suffer. But how much effect? The Chinese respond harder.'  Foreigners have no idea what 汉人 is, and it is extremely that foreigners will say or write "Han Chinese."
