Voices across China support Xi's election, say bright prospects ahead

After Xi Jinping was unanimously elected president and chairman of the Central Military Commission of China on Saturday morning, people across the country voiced their support and aspiration for better prospects for the country.

"I am so lucky to be part of such a great age led by a great man," said Yu Zhigang, a National People's Congress deputy. "The unanimous vote showed that as our leader, Xi has our full support and trust and bears our high expectation."

Gesang Zhoigar, an NPC deputy from the Tibet autonomous region, was also deeply touched by the election. "Being one of more than 3 million people from Tibet, I have strong trust in Comrade Xi, the whole Party's core, our nation's leader and the Army's commander," she said.
