Looks like the Chinese people regard Obama as a great guy - almost as great as Chinese Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, a similarly charismatic leader who converted China to communism by force in 1949 and killed millions of Chinese civilians (mostly intellectuals, professionals, wealthy people, and anyone who dared speak out against his agenda) during the ensuing "Cultural Revolutions".

They seem to expect Obama to be the same kind of leader in the U.S.

Well, my Chinese friends... some of us expect that, too.

BEIJING (AP) - The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he's being greeted with "Oba Mao" T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames.

Liu Mingjie created "Oba Mao" T-shirts, with the president wearing the uniform of the Red Guards, who caused chaos during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.

So because Obama is liked in China you think he is another Mao? The stupidity factor never stops on City Data.
