Michelle Obama, US First Lady, said, "We are thrilled to welcome this little cub, a cub who exemplifies both the common bond between our nations and the bright future of this magnificent species. It’s a little too much for a little bear, but I think she’s ready for it."

Chinese ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai explains why 100 days is so important in Chinese culture.

Cui Tiankai, Chinese Ambassador to US,said, "It represents the baby will grow up in happiness and good health and will live as long as over 100 years... for bringing the people even closer together. "
