'China views Mrs. Obama's trip most positively,' said Shen Dingli, professor of international relations at Fudan University in Shanghai.
'If she is humble and respectful, she will win the support from the Chinese public for building good relationships with the United States under the leadership of her husband.'

Beijing hotel workers already 'fed up' with Obama entourage in 3400-square-foot, $8,350-per-night suite inconveniencing 'pretty much everyone' – and the first lady's mother is 'barking at the staff'
•Michelle Obama, her daughters and her mother Marian Robinson are staying in a sumptuous presidential suite at a Beijing Westin hotel
•Mrs. Robinson has been 'barking at the staff since she arrived,' a hotel staffer said, adding that 'we can't wait for this to be over'
•Secret Service agents are monopolizing elevators and booting high-paying guests from their rooms to occupy a block of space near the first lady
•Both front and back doors of the hotel are blocked off, with Chinese and U.S. security agents screening everyone who enters
•Ordinary Chinese describe Mrs. Obama and her family as kind and gracious, but hotel staff are 'fed up'
Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced 'pretty much everyone' and made the hotel staff 'fed up,' a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline.
The sumptuous pad at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel – its website calls the room 'an oasis of comfort – is a 3,400-square-foot masterpiece including a private steam room, 'corner sofas with silk pillows,' and in-room dining for six.
But the Obamas' stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obama's mother Marian Robinson has been 'barking at the staff since she arrived.'.....

Not surprised.
These people are an embarrassment to the rest of us, acting like trash.
January 20, 2017 can't come soon enough.
What's the budget for this vacation?
The First Beard, little Shemalia and Jemalia, and Aunt Esther touring China on the public dime can't be cheap.

Why does the POTUS mother in law go on tax payer funded overseas trips? This is tax payer funded isn't it? Including all the security personnel, attendant staff, etc?
Did the entire entourage fly commercial? Military transport? My dime?
To think that three nights in that hotel would pay for Wills' AIDS drugs for a year.

So in other words, everyone in China is in love with the Michelle entourage EXCEPT the Chinese who have actually had contact with them.

Some member of DU purporting to be a China resident, posted an OP about it.
I grabbed it and dropped a note here on CC. DUmpmonkeys fawn all over it.
I wonder what I would do if my daughter were to marry the president of any country .
...
In a way I believe Moo is dragging her mommy along to taunt her that she did not have the ability to do so with her.
I wonder what I would do if my daughter were to marry the president of any country .They moved Mom into the WH to act as Nanny/babysitter. There was discussion/news/reports/stuff about this shortly after the inauguration. The first term one.
All this has to go to ones head, same as we see at work when one of us is elevated to a semi boss. As the saying goes the hat leads to the person wearing it to go a bit off from their head.
So My daughter has a position to allow me to fly on private jets and wear designer clothing,
have the best of the best in housing and travel. As the mother I get all kinds of gifts, Limo's and respect anywhere I go.
Do I turn all this down------Hell no, I will go on the ride of my life, never had this chance as her father never got this far.

Mama bama is being bossyNice reference to "bossy", and banned words.
"Several merchants denied carrying such items, but one merchant quietly took this correspondent to the back of her tent and showed off a whole box of the popular, normally seen t-shirts," he reported. "As we were negotiating prices — she wanted 360 yuan, or roughly $60, an outrageous starting price — other merchants came by, and in Chinese, told her to be careful. The merchant became visibly rattled and put the t-shirts away."http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2546182
