INTERNATIONAL: Asian viewers give nod to Clinton after first presidential debate
BEIJING/TOKYO: Hillary Clinton put Donald Trump on the defensive and showed a better grasp of foreign policy issues, according to a sampling of people across Asia who watched the fiery first US presidential debate.
In China, the debate was streamed live on China's Twitter-like Weibo service and attracted thousands of comments despite the lack of a translation into Chinese.
Some called Trump "a loose cannon", while others thought that as a businessman he was best qualified to lead the world's largest economy.
William Hua, a Chinese lawyer who watched the debate at an American Chamber of Commerce event in Beijing, said he thought Clinton came out on top.
He was most concerned, though, about an issue that didn't come up in the debate. "Donald Trump says Japan and South Korea can develop nuclear weapons? It seems absolutely ridiculous," Hua said.
