The gender wealth gap is widening sharply, female labor force participation in the cities is dropping, women\u2019s property rights have been dealt a severe blow with the 2011 re-interpretation of China\u2019s Marriage Law, and the proportion of women in the Party\u2019s Central Committee has fallen to a dismal 4.9\u00a0percent.

But there is something uniquely demeaning in the Obama-Peng meeting, and it largely has to do with the pre-presidential lives of the two formidable women who must attend it. Michelle Obama, after all, is a Harvard-educated lawyer who served as her family\u2019s primary breadwinner while her husband toiled in a state legislature. Peng Liyuan, one year older than Obama, is a major general in the People\u2019s Liberation Army and a celebrity\u00a0singer\u00a0who was famous across China when her husband was working in backwater Communist Party outposts.<\/p>\n<p>If ever there were two first ladies capable of more, it is these two. Family, career choices and circumstances mean that they\u2019ll have to stick, instead, to the symbolic roles they have both accepted. Nonetheless, when the two first ladies pose silently for the cameras on Thursday, it might be worth asking whether it\u2019s time to retire those roles altogether.

If Obama&#8217;s narrative is one of resilience, Peng&#8217;s is one of restraint. While Obama&#8217;s celebrity is a time-honoured tradition, Peng&#8217;s is an uncomfortable experiment, a near-unprecedented PR move by a notoriously stern-faced regime.<\/p>\n<p>Obama will arrive in Beijing with her daughters Sasha and Malia, and her mother Marian Robinson, for a week of sightseeing and speeches about people-to-people exchange. Peng will accompany her during a visit to a Beijing school, a dinner and a performance.
