Some of the “students” that posed questions for President Obama during his visit and dialogue with the Chinese youth were in fact not students at all. The young woman that posed the first question to President Obama, a “student” by the name of Cheng Xi (程熙), was discovered by Chinese netizens to be a deputy chair of the Youth Party Committee at Fudan University. The young man that asked the second question, a “student” by the name of Huang Lihe (黄立鹤), turns out to be a secretary of the University Party Committee at Tongji University’s School of Foreign Languages.

Huang Lihe's Sina blog received a burst of visitors yesterday after the exposure – Chinese netizens heavily criticized him for posing as a “student” at the Obama talk.
