Wen Jiabao on FacebookPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 27, 2008 2:46 PM
![]() The Chinese premier Wen Jiabao's performance during the earthquake relief effort over the last two weeks has given his popularity a powerful boost. And now someone has started a Facebook fan page for him that so far has more than 12,000 supporters. Wen, or 'Baobao' as many of his supporters call him, has had a legion of online fans for several years, a long time before the Sichuan earthquake. See for example this Danwei post: A portrait of the Premier as a young man (from 2007). In 2005, a blog appeared on a popular blog host service that was allegedly written Wen (see this Danwei post).
There are currently 8 Comments for Wen Jiabao on Facebook.

Actions * accept christ or, deny christ bocaj you might also enjoy these: Jiwai: Mao Zedong If you look hard enough you'll find Hu Jintao's son has a Facebook page. Want an interesting website by a (ethnically, not nationally) Chinese politician? Try this one: pow: Gosh, so he does! But he only has two friends :( Lim has only two friends? Must be because he belongs to an ethnic minority in Malaysia. His party has a lot of members, but one politician is seldom a friend of the other. So what? Facebook have deleted Wen Jiabao's fan page. He was among the top 5 most popular politicians before the deletion. Someone has created a new fan page for Wen. Let's see how long it takes before the Facebook censors get to that one. |
