China's 'Super Salesman' seals billion-dollar deals around the world

Braving bitter cold, 20,000 cheering people in Belgrade waved Chinese and Serbian national flags to welcome Premier Li Keqiang, who was in Serbia in mid-December to witness the completion of the first Chinese-built bridge in Europe.

Spanning the Danube River, the "China Bridge", as locals call it, was designed and built by Chinese companies with preferential loans from China. Li said he expected the bridge to become a calling card for Chinese companies going global.

In photos taken at the event, Li is seen smiling broadly, appearing to radiate sincerity and confidence in his country's capabilities.
