·         Mr. Zhang from Shanghai:

Today is a day worth celebrating. The American people once again cast their votes and elected their President. I cheer and pray for the United States. The US will certainly walk out of the economic downturn. The American democratic system is a hope and a motivator to the Chinese people. The universal value of democracy, liberty and human rights also apply to China. American people and government help the Chinese people a great deal. Radio Free Asia and Voice of America had tremendous effects on the awakening of the Chinese people. We must strive to accelerate the steps towards democracy, liberty and human rights, bid farewell to the lying, barbaric and violent authoritarian system.

·         Mr. Zhang from Hebei:

The election of Obama as the president is a correct choice for the US. The US needs a reformer to lead her out the difficulties and Obama has the qualities of a reformer. The US is an affluent and democratic country. Generation after generation, American people built this country by their hard work and sacrifice, not the charity of others. Forty years ago, Martin Luther King sacrificed his own life to win the integration of black people to the American society. He also made a great contribution towards the election of Obama as the president.

·         Mr. Lu from Guangxi:

The significance of the “Obama phenomenon” is immeasurable. Obama would have never succeeded in China. He most likely would have become a tragedy. Why can Obama succeed in the US? Because there is the soil for him to succeed on. It’s a shame that all the speeches by Obama can not be heard in China. He said it himself in his speech. Only America allows him to fulfill his dream. When President Hu visited Japan, a little kid asked him, “How did you become the leader of the country?” That’s right. How did he become the leader? The great meaning of Obama becoming the American president is definitely not going to be recognized by the Chinese authority. But it will more and more be reflected upon by the Chinese people. They will recognize the greatness and advance of the US. 

·         Mr. Pang from Guangxi: I warmly congratulate the election of Obama as the next American President and wish the friendship of China and the US lasts for centuries to come. I firmly believe: America’s today is China’s tomorrow.
