A protester threw a shoe at Wen Jiabao, the Chinese Premier, today as he delivered a speech on the global economy at Cambridge University.

Mr Wen was coming to the last part of his address when a young Western-looking man with dark hair stood up,

blew a whistle and shouted: How can the university prostitute itself with this dictator? How can you listen to these lies?

The man, who appeared to be in his early twenties, then took off his heavy shoe and threw it at the stage missing the Premier by a few feet.
Stand up and protest, you're not challenging him, he shouted in a European accent as he was bundled out of the room by security staff.

  • Your words only reflect your ignorance.

  • OMG, you sounds like a typical brainwashed westerner... Please stop imagining that you understand China and Chinese government more than Chinese people.

    To tell you the truth, there are many Chinese students/scholars abroad, and they could get information from both side (China and western world), they would still tell you that your opinion about China are full of bias and prejudice. Unfortunately I'm one of them.

  • People were mad because Wen said only 12 million jobless; but just the day before Chen Xiwen said 26 million+ jobless.

    So I think ppl are not in the mood for "sweet talk," they want the facts, otherwise we won't know how to properly correct this very serious economic situation.

  • naive thoughts.

    democracy cannot even resolve the country in this financial crisis.

    under the democracy, emotional people elect the president/PM without knowing them. therefore, liars get elected for most of the time.

    western democracy should be eliminated eventually.
