2008 Nov 19 Video of the Week: Postcard to U.S. President: Beijing

Permalink

We first saw this video over at Shanghaiist. It's part of a nice little series of videos that Reuters have put together called Postcard to U.S President from various cities around the world, including what must be an interesting clip from Baghdad. The video above features four Beijing residents talking about what they would like to see from an Obama presidency. The video was filmed just out the front of the Village at Sanlitun on the corner of Gongti Beili and Sanlitun . The video was uploaded on Nov 5 and we're guessing the journalists conducted the interviews while waiting for the election results to come in over at the Rickshaw. Three of the people being interviewed say their piece in English. The fourth, a businessman, uses Chinese to express his hope that Obama can "sort out the American economy and bring the world economy back up." You can view the full translation of what he said in the more info section.
