I agree, Wen seems like a reasonable man. Yes, the Chinese government is corrupt, just like the British and American governments.

I also think it is disgraceful that Britain should see the need to lecture China on Tibet and human rights. China did not interfere with Britain on Northern Ireland so why should the UK interfere with China's situation on Tibet, which is very similar to Northern Ireland.

I think the point was that he's a crook!

[HughJason]

Well well. Fancy that -

According to the New York Times Wen Jiabao's got "assets worth at least $2.7bn"

certainly. and i didn't really like him but respect his reaction to this incident. btw, speak highly of something that communist does is not equal to "50 cents", which could only prove that u are an extremist.

this is what Wen said after the shoe thrown

老师们同学们，这种卑鄙的伎俩阻挡不了中英两国人民的友谊，人类­的进步、世界的和谐是历史的潮流，是任何力量阻挡不了的

Teachers and students, this kind of dirty action cannot stop the friendship between British and Chinese people. The progress of mankind and the harmony of the world is a world trend, which cannot be stopped by any forces. (literally translated)
