This was Michelle's first solo official visit to China, analysts pointed out that "Madam" diplomatic "ties, Sino-US relations will usher in innovation in the form of" soft regulation. "
"Madame interactions" for Sino-American diplomatic innovation way
Michel's visit is here at the invitation of the Chinese President, XI Jinping, wife Peng Liyuan, from now until 26th, Michelle will join two other daughters and mothers to visit Beijing, Xian and Chengdu.
In the history of exchanges between China and, after the United States, "first lady" to precedent in China alone, like Clinton in 1995 as the United States President's wife had come to Beijing to attend the United Nations Conference on women, however, the "first lady" alone made a special trip to visit China, Michel was the first.
Public attention another focus of the China tour, Michelle, lies in her meeting with Peng Liyuan. In June last year, XI Jinping, with Obama in the United States, California, "Manor" diplomacy, accompanied by Peng Liyuan, but absent Michelle for taking care of his daughter.
After 9 months, Mrs Sino-US heads of State meeting in Beijing. According to the itinerary, Michelle, during their stay in Beijing, Peng Liyuan, will accompany her to visit schools, visiting the forbidden city, shared a private dinner and watch the performance.

Because the "special significance", as early as at the beginning of March, the White House announced Michelle visit's message, the White House official website specially opened Michelle's visit special Web page. In addition, from the theory of simple Chinese, to consultation for primary school children in China's "travel", "food", Michel himself also showed attaches to the visit.

"Although political issues between China and many, Lady two leaders of the contacts was also a major international public attention, but judging from the international practice, head of Lady between exchanges focused on areas such as education, women's and children's ' soft topics ', is not in the implementation of the specific political task. "Ma Zhengang said.
In fact, observe the schedule of Michel's visit, can also be seen, Michelle tried to humanistic intention to promote civil exchanges.
According to the United States to inform, on March 22, Michelle's speech at Peking University and meet with Chinese and American students, studying discussion topics, as well as science and technology play an important role in the cultural exchange; 24th moved to visit XI ' an, Michelle will visit the Terra-Cotta Warriors and ancient city walls; 25th visit to Chengdu, Michel will meet again with Chinese students into a middle school, and made a second speech in China.
Although not involved in politics, Michelle separate visits to their principle, but with important and complex bilateral relations, some United States media had published an article inciting Michelle throws such sensitive issues as human rights in China, pressure profile-nation.
Professor at the Institute of international relations, Diplomatic Academy, Lee Hae-dong, Michelle, not because of some domestic overall noise at the expense of visit to China, "which the positioning is to create communication between China and a good atmosphere, if the way to talk about sensitive issues, effect or Michelle's visit to China will be greatly reduced. ”
Lady diplomatic ties bilateral relations towards "soft regulation"
Michel's visit to China has been largely clear does not touch the political problems, but her visit was intended to, public opinion still has a lot of political speculation.
From June last year, Sino-US heads of State "estate meeting", although China has been constructing new power relationship of agreement, but in the Sino-Japanese relations, the air defense identification zone, the South China Sea issue and other aspects, contradiction and confrontation between China and constantly. In addition, Obama's April visit to Asia "China rather than into the" path selection, and let public opinion more concerned with Michele the political message behind the visit.
"On the surface, it's an apolitical visit, but the United States President's wife visited China separately, which in itself has no apparent political implications. "Lee Hae-dong said that as part of Obama's diplomacy towards China this year, Michel's visit also coincides with the time at this time.
Lee Hae-dong said that from the perspective of history, in the development of Sino-US relations, leaders of the leading role is crucial, "Michelle here soon, Sino-American Summit meeting in the Netherlands during the nuclear security summit. Heads of State on political trust, Lady folk know, in front of the current complexity of Sino-US relations, leaders of lively interaction between the family is undoubtedly the Sino-US relations in a ' soft adjustment ', which ' soft adjustment ' is required for long-term development of Sino-US relations. ”
In the expert's view, although officials at all levels of communication between China and America in recent years has frequently, mechanism, but ordinary people, especially the younger generation of communication needed to be enhanced. Lack of these exchanges will have a negative impact on Sino-US relations.
Lee Hae-dong reminder, Michele, take the kids to come to China, and pledged to update their own information in China in a blog, this is a rare public diplomacy campaign, "in first lady's perspective to United States young Chinese, to the United States national dissemination real China impression, such mutual recognition is the long-term project of Sino-US relations.

中新网北京3月20日电 (记者 阚枫)今日起，美国总统奥巴马夫人米歇尔将携家人展开为期一周的访华行程。这是米歇尔首次单独对华进行正式访问，分析指出，以“夫人外交”为纽带，中美关系也将迎来一次形式创新的“软调节”。
“夫人互动”为中美外交创新方式
米歇尔此次访华是应中国国家主席习近平夫人彭丽媛邀请，从今日至26日，米歇尔将携两位女儿和母亲访问北京、西安和成都三地。
在中美两国交往史上，此前虽也有美国“第一夫人”单独来华的先例，比如希拉里1995年作为美国总统夫人曾来北京参加联合国妇女大会，但是，“第一夫人”单独专程访华，米歇尔是第一人。
舆论关注米歇尔此次中国之行的另一焦点，在于她与彭丽媛的见面。去年6月，习近平与奥巴马在美国加州展开“庄园外交”，当时彭丽媛虽随行，但米歇尔因照顾女儿而缺席。
时隔9个月，中美元首夫人的会面将在北京实现。根据行程，米歇尔在北京期间，彭丽媛将陪同她走访中学，参观故宫，共进私人晚餐并观看演出。两位元首夫人的此次互动，引来世界舆论的聚焦。
“米歇尔此次访华，可以看作是对去年缺席与习近平夫妇会面的一次补充。此外，夫人邀请夫人的访问方式，这是中美间的一次外交创新，意义特殊。” 中国公共外交协会副会长马振岗向中新网记者表示。
因为“意义特殊”，早在3月初，白宫就对外宣布米歇尔将访华的消息，白宫官网还特意开通米歇尔访华的专题网页。此外，从学说简单的汉语，到向小学生咨询在中国的“旅游经”“美食经”，米歇尔本人也表现出对此访的高度重视。
话题聚焦青年、教育 料不涉及政治议题
根据美方此前介绍，教育是米歇尔访华全程关注的重点，另一重点则是强调中美青年应更多交流，希望通过访华加深美国青年对中国的了解。
“虽然中美之间的政治议题很多，两位元首夫人的此次接触也备受国际舆论关注，但是从国际惯例来看，元首夫人之间的交往主要关注文化教育、妇女儿童等方面的‘软话题’，并不是在执行具体的政治任务。”马振岗说。
其实，观察米歇尔此访的行程安排，亦可看出，米歇尔试图从人文方面增进中美民间交流的用意。
据美方通报，3月22日，米歇尔将在北京大学发表演讲，与中美留学生见面，探讨留学议题以及科技在文化交流中发挥的重要作用；24日转赴西安访问，米歇尔将参观兵马俑和古城墙；25日到访成都，米歇尔将再度走进一所中学与中国学生见面，并发表在华第二场演讲。
虽然，不介入政治已是米歇尔单独出访他国的一贯原则，但是面对重要且复杂的中美关系，一些美国媒体此前亦刊文鼓动米歇尔在华抛出人权等敏感议题，从侧面给其中国之行施压。
在外交学院国际关系研究所教授李海东看来，米歇尔不会因一些国内杂音而不顾访华大局，“此访的定位在于创造中美沟通交流的良好氛围，如果途中谈论敏感议题，米歇尔的访华效果或将大打折扣。”
夫人外交为纽带 中美关系迎“软调节”
虽然米歇尔访华已经基本明确不会触碰政治问题，但是对于她的访华用意，舆论仍有很多政治方面的猜测。
从去年6月中美元首“庄园会晤”以来，虽然两国已有构建新型大国关系的共识，但是在中日关系、防空识别区、南海问题等方面，中美间的矛盾和交锋也不断。此外，奥巴马4月访问亚洲“过中国而不入”的路线选择，也让舆论更为关注米歇尔访华背后的政治信号。
“表面上这虽是一次不涉政治的访问，但是美国总统夫人单独访华，这本身已具有不言自明的政治含义。”李海东说，作为奥巴马今年对华外交的一部分，米歇尔此时访华也是恰逢其时。
李海东说，从历史上看，中美关系发展中，领导人的引领作用非常关键，“米歇尔来华不久，中美元首会晤也会在荷兰核安全峰会期间进行。元首谈政治互信，夫人促民间了解，在当前复杂的中美关系面前，领导人家庭之间的热络互动，无疑是中美关系的一次‘软调节’，而这种‘软调节’正是中美关系长远发展所需。”
在专家看来，虽然近年来中美官方各层级的沟通已频密化、机制化，但普通民众，特别是年轻一代的交流还有待加强。这些交流缺失将对中美关系发展造成负面影响。
李海东提醒，米歇尔带着孩子来华，并承诺会在博客中更新自己的中国见闻，这对两国来说都是一次难得的公共外交活动，“以总统夫人的视角向美国年轻人介绍中国，向美国国内传播真实的中国印象，这种相互认知是中美关系的长远工程。”(完)
