After hosting the big event that brought 21 leaders from the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum to Lima, President Alan Garcia Perez has gained some popularity points from Peruvians satisfied that the president was able to promote trade and expand the country’s exports in future trade deals.

Garcia’s disapproval rating dropped 8.5 points to 69.2 percent according to a recent poll conducted by CPI. His national approval rating increased to 23.1 percent with Lima residents supporting the president a bit more at 28.1 percent.

Compared to the rising economy in Peru, many Peruvians feel salaries are still low and are not receiving the benefits from the booming economy.

Garcia has based the success of the Peruvian economy on free markets, promoting trade and attracting foreign investments. Recently, Garcia secured a free-trade agreement deal with China that was made official during the APEC summit last month.

The survey only took place in Lima. Lima has at least 8.1% chinese decendents. Garcia kissed Hu Jintao's ass... AND RIGHTLY SO.

HAIL THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC! HAIL HU JINTAO!

May Mao bless Garcia and his faithful Fujimori.

May Chinitos rule us all!
