Shanghai youth: Let's get personal

SHANGHAI: Personal questions rather than political ones will greet United States President Barack Obama when he meets young people of Shanghai on Monday, during his first state visit to China.

A phone survey of university students by China Daily showed a majority of the young scholars found Obama's personality most captivating and inspiring.

"He is handsome and charming," said Qin Hao, 22, a post-graduate student of politics and public management at Hunan University, who is an intern at a company in Shanghai.
