Chinese Critic: 'Our First Lady Is So Graceful And Elegant, Leaving Michelle Far Behind'

First lady Michelle Obama (L) and Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, pose for a photograph as they visit Forbidden City in Beijing.

It was the eagerly awaited meeting of the world’s two most important first ladies.

But there was a clear winner when Michelle Obama met her counterpart Peng Liyuan for the first time in Beijing.

As photographs and television footage began to emerge of Mrs Peng and Mrs Obama touring the Chinese capital, the country’s online forums were quick to claim victory in the “battle of the First Ladies”.

“Our First Lady is so graceful and elegant, leaving Michelle far behind,” said one critic. “We have won this time,” remarked another. “Ours is more refined and eye-catching,” said a third.

There was praise for Mrs Peng’s belted trouser suit, with flashes of crimson at her neckline to match her red earrings and clutch, but some questioned whether her high heels were sensible enough for the cobbles of the Forbidden City. But without them, Mrs Obama would have towered over her.

She has that squeezed spanx x 3 look.

Suck it up Michelle.

Doesn’t she look like the second grader that was just put in charge of erasing the white-board for the next week.

“Oh, I’m so special! I sure hope everyone notices!”

Hang head in shame...

Probably in another photo a second or two later, Michelle would have stood up straight.

Stand up straight, at at angle to the camera, heel of the front foot nestled against the side of the back foot.

If she’d use better posture she would look 10 pounds thinner.

I can’t believe no one’s tried to tell her that!

"I can’t believe no one’s tried to tell her that!"

I wouldn't bet on that. I'm guessing no one is able to tell her anything.

Whoever put the Mooch in that outfit should be fired .... hideous .... bad color, bad fit. You’d think she’d have enough common, much less ‘fashion’ sense to just say no to wearing it - they must not have let her get anywhere near a mirror before she left the hotel

It's horrifying that anyone would let her wear that , even in the privacy of her own room.

Are they really calling her by her first name (or the Chinese equivalent)?

Doesn't sound too respectful for the Chinese.

FWIW:

奧 (ao) means abstruse, hard to understand.

巴 (ba) means to hope for anxiously, to expect, to cling to, or to stick to.

马 (ma) is a horse. It’s also a Chinese surname and associated with success.

China’s “first lady”, a vain communist fascist of the People’s Liberation Army, is not elegant.

Today, standing next to the American salt monster, she is.

VS.

No contest. Not even close,

Got to hand it to the Chinese, they aren’t afraid to say the truth.

It takes no courage to insult a foreigner, especially one affiliated with what the Chinese view as their primary geopolitical rival. Yakov Smirnoff, the Jewish-Ukrainian comedian, used to say:

In every country, they make fun of city. In U.S. you make fun of Cleveland. In Russia, we make fun of Cleveland.

If they had made fun of Xi Jinping's wife, they'd have been arrested by the secret police. And that's the literal truth.

Yeah, well, our first lady could play cornerback for any NFL team you can name, while China’s first lady wouldn’t even make it to the first cut.

What a difference in posture, too! Mooch is slumped over. Peng is erect, shoulders back, excellent posture. Looks like she attended (what used to be called) finishing school.
