China's top micro-blogging site, Sina Weibo, was flooded with favorable reactions to the so-called iron lady of the Foreign Ministry.

In 2010, Fu was promoted to vice-foreign minister, in charge of Asian, border and oceanic affairs, including China's territorial disputes with Japan.
2010年，傅莹被任命为外交部副部长，分管亚洲事务、边境事务、以及海洋事务，其中包括也中日间的领土争端。

"I've just come from the session. The route at the Great Hall of the People is zigzagging and it is not easy for me, as a newcomer, to find it. I'm sorry," she said while explaining a three-minute delay in the news conference.
“我是从大会那边过来的。大会堂的路径也是比较曲折的，我这个新手要找到路也不是这么容易。抱歉。” 这次发布会延迟了3分钟，傅莹对此这样解释道。

Fu answered nine questions during the news conference, ranging from tensions with Japan to the military budget.
傅莹在发布会上回答了九个问题，从中日局势到军费，各个方面的问题都有。

When replying to a question about "fully-covered budget management", a comprehensive framework to review and supervise the government's budget and spending at all levels, Fu was concerned whether reporters were familiar with the term and explained it to them.
当回答有关“全口径预算管理”（一种审查和监督各级政府预算和支出的综合体制）的问题时，傅莹考虑到有些记着对这个概念不是很熟悉，还向他们做出了解释。
