It's virtuous that the top leader Xi Jinping is progressive, at the same time he is in tune with those who have eaten more bitterness than others. This mindset will help in creating progressive and harmonious society in Asia and the world.

I hope that peace, progress, stability and social development will be maintained and further advanced. I wish China lots of strength and good judgement for the years to come. It will probably be more difficult to achieve set goals than in the past.

My opinion of China changed after my first visit, and is modified with each subsequent visit. Stereotypes are for the weak-minded, but yes, I had prejudices and pre-conceived notions. Some were upheld, some demolished. Along with this were new discoveries and enlightenment about the culture.

One thing I greatly admire about China's system is that when someone is selected for the highest offices in the country, they are people who have significant experience and who have proven themselves in positions of lesser responsibility before being entrusted with the top offices in the country.

Chinese leaders are demonstrating a high level of skill in managing the most populated country in the world. The success of their policies in the last decades is evident and a demonstration of what means to have 5000 years of history in one's back.

We are without doubt entering one of the most exciting and challenging times for modern China. The nation’s meteoric economic rise, its long rich past, successful space program and world-beating Olympic Games, China is about to enter the next significant chapter of its history.

CPC has done a good job, wondrous to behold. I know that pressures from food safety, environmental issues and corruption keep haunting China, but don't merely stare at the 300m urban residents. China have a huge many people who can barely use anything digital. And CPC managed to feed them.

China welcomes us foreigners and provides us with jobs, respect, hospitality and freedom. I am thankful to the Chinese people and the government. I wish China a prosperous future! I can see China as a leading nation in economics, business and sporting ventures in the future.

"He (Li Keqiang) has a very open, direct personality, is a specialist in economic affairs and has deep political experience … "

M. D. Nalapat

"If China has made such great progress, it is because the CPC rejected copying Western commercial institutions, creating instead a model that had a natural fit with Chinese experience and needs."

Joe Borich

"The new leadership has a long and pressing agenda and its success will be largely measured by its success in addressing that agenda. I wish them every success, and I am encouraged by what has been done so far."

China needs to spend more on welfare

"The challenge facing the next generation of the Chinese leadership is steering the nation as it moves from an export and investment driven economy to a more sustainable consumption-driven economy."

Xi rides high hopes ahead of presidency

"Xi has styled himself as an economic reformer, an iron-fisted graft-buster, a staunch nationalist and a no-frills man-of-the-people — spurring expectations for change."

China's new president in corruption battle

"Mr Xi identified fighting corruption as a priority and has promised to show no leniency over an issue that he and others have warned could be a threat to the party's rule."
