The Obama administration yesterday sprang to the defense of a Chinese-born pianist who played at the state dinner for China's president Hu Jintao last week, insisting that he wasn't trying to insult the US when he performed a Korean War-era song made famous in a Chinese movie about killing American soldiers.

"Any suggestion that this was an insult to the United States is just flat wrong," said a White House spokesman, Tommy Vietor.
