8A – Daily News – Friday, January 21, 2011 Hu calls for closer US- China tie WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese President Hu Jintao denied his country is a military threat despite its arms buildup and pressed the U.S. on Thursday for closer coop- eration between the glob- al powers. He urged the United States to treat China ‘‘with respect and as equals’’ after encoun- tering a fresh barrage of criticism from lawmakers over human rights. WORLD BRIEFING Google: Page In a luncheon speech to American business executives, Hu also urged the U.S. to continue to recognize China’s sover- eignty over Taiwan and Tibet. ‘‘China-U.S. relations will enjoy smooth and steady growth when the two countries handle well issues involving each other’s major inter- ests. Otherwise, our rela- tions will suffer constant trouble or even tension,’’ Hu said as he wrapped up his state visit to Washington. The Chinese leader headed next to Chicago where he was dining Thursday evening with retiring Mayor Richard Daley, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and business lead- ers. On Friday, he visits a Chinese center at a high school and a Chinese auto parts producer. will be CEO SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. co- founder Larry Page is tak- ing over as CEO in an unexpected shake-up that upstaged the Internet search leader’s fourth- quarter earnings. Page, 37, is reclaiming the top job from Eric Schmidt, who had been brought in as CEO a decade ago because Google’s investors believed the company needed a more mature leader. Schmidt, 55, will remain an adviser to Page and Google’s other co- founder, Sergey Brin, as Google’s executive chair- man. The changes will be effective April 4. ‘‘In my clear opinion, Larry is ready to lead and I’m excited about working with both him and Sergey for a long time to come,’’ Schmidt said.

Blackwater, now known as Xe Services, became a symbol in Wash- ington of contractors run amok after a series of inci- dents, including one in 2007 in which its guards were charged with killing 14 civilians in the Iraqi capital. A U.S. federal judge later threw out the charges on the grounds that the defendants’ constitutional rights were violated. Last year, Iraq’s Interior Ministry gave all contractors who had worked with Blackwa- ter at the time of the shoot- ing one week to get out of the country or face arrest for visa violations.
