Jason Leow and Sue Feng report on China’s reaction to the inauguration.
In China, despite the speech’s inconvenient timing (it started after  
1:00 a.m. local time), crowds of expatriates — and more than a few  
Chinese — packed into bars to watch CNN’s live broadcast via  
satellite. Bars wooed customers with inauguration specials: The  
Glamour Bar, on Shanghai’s historic Bund, offered a pre-ceremony  
performance by a seven-piece Dixieland band and a drink called the  
“Obamatini” (garnished with red, white and blue sugar cubes).
