Pessimism rules on Chinese sites

Most Chinese are pessimistic about what the G20 summit can achieve, and believe China should keep a clear head while the rest of the world is appealing to Beijing for more money.

As many as 77 percent of about 15,000 netizens polled by portal Sina.com chose "no" when asked if they thought participating countries could come to an agreement.

Nearly 60 percent didn't think the summit could improve the global financial situation, while only 17.6 percent said it would.
