Is Michelle Obama More Censored Than China's First Lady?
The Telegraph ^ | 3/21 | Cathy Newman

Michelle Obama's tour of China begins today, during which she will share the limelight with the country's First Lady, Peng Liyuan. Cathy Newman isn't sure who will say less...

She’s one of the world’s most glamorous First Ladies, a star in her own right, and a supportive, caring wife to a super-powerful president.

Move over Michelle Obama: China’s First Lady Peng Liyuan is now so famous in her own right, the American president’s wife will find herself having to share the spotlight when the two get together today.

During Obama’s visit to China, she’ll no doubt find president Xi Jinping’s wife quite a force to be reckoned with. She’s been named one of Time Magazine’s most influential people in the world. And even if she’s not – yet – a household name across the globe, she was instantly recognisable across her own country even before she became First Lady. A famous folk singer, she’s been watched by generations of Chinese on state TV.

This obsequious fawning is almost amusing, but the nausea.

Why should the spouse of any pol be pushing adventurous policy? Shelly already promotes Obamacare and the like, I really don’t see the point in criticizing either political wife on this.

It’s sad and outrageous that we have to read foreign newspapers to get any news about the Obamas since the American press refuses to do their job.
