国賓晩餐会の替わりにビルゲイツ邸で歓迎晩餐会を開いてもらったことが唯一の成果。ホワイトハウス中庭の記者会見では大紀元（The Epoch Times）リポーターとして入っていた法輪功メンバーに抗議の声を浴びせられあきらかに周章狼狽していた。ちなみに中共ではさすがは検閲大国らしく生中継にも関らずその瞬間はちゃんと画面が切り替わり放送されなかった。

Protester Yells at Hu; Bush Apologizes
By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent 1 hour, 43 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - In a surprise outburst that cast a diplomatic shadow, a screaming protester confronted President Bush and Chinese President Hu Jintao and interrupted the welcoming ceremony on the White House lawn Thursday. Bush later apologized to the Chinese leader.
"President Bush, stop him from killing," the woman shouted, to the surprise of hundreds of guests spread across the lawn on a sunny, warm day. "President Bush, stop him from persecuting the Falun Gong" ― a banned religious movement in China.
Standing beside Bush, Hu had just begun his opening remarks when the woman started yelling in Chinese and English. Bush leaned over and whispered to Hu, "You're OK," indicating the Chinese leader should proceed. Hu, who had paused briefly, resumed speaking even though the woman kept screaming for several minutes before security officers forcibly removed her.
The woman had obtained temporary press credentials as a reporter for a Falun Gong newspaper and positioned herself on a camera stand in front of the two leaders. A cameraman tried to put his hand over her mouth before uniformed Secret Service officers hustled her away.
Outside the White House gates, hundreds of banner-waving protesters loudly demonstrated against Hu's visit. The clamor could be heard faintly during an elaborate lunch Bush gave in Hu's honor.
Chinese leaders place high importance on protocol and symbolism, and Bush moved promptly to deal with the protest on the lawn. Once they reached the Oval Office, Bush apologized to his guest.
"He just said this was unfortunate and I'm sorry it happened," said Dennis Wilder, acting senior director for Asian affairs on the National Security Council staff.
Hu was gracious in accepting Bush's apology, Wilder said. The two leaders moved on in their talks and it was not mentioned again in several hours of meetings. In what the White House described as a sign of their friendship, Hu and Bush sat next to each other at the luncheon ― a departure from traditional protocol that would have them at different tables.
White House officials have worked with Chinese counterparts for months on every detail of Hu's visit. "I'm not going to stand here and tell you that they were at ease with this situation," Wilder said. "But I would be extremely surprised if the Chinese blame us for this." He said it was "a momentary blip."
The Web sites of the state-run China Central Television and the official Xinhua news agency made no mention of the protest. Both said that "Bush held a solemn ceremony to welcome" Hu.
China permits about three dozen foreign television channels to be distributed in China, mostly entertainment channels, but also CNN and the BBC among others. Their signals, however, must first pass through a state-owned monitoring center, allowing the government to black out news stories it dislikes ― and it routinely does so.
The Secret Service identified the protester as Wenyi Wang, 47. Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin said she had been charged with disorderly conduct and that a charge of intimidating or disrupting foreign officials also was being considered.
