Chinese anger at UK shoe-thrower

[kai]

China has reacted with indignation over an incident in which a shoe was thrown at its premier, Wen Jiabao.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the man who disrupted a speech by the premier had exhibited "despicable behaviour".
China's reaction was far harsher than when two shoes were thrown at former US President George W Bush. A 27-year-old man has been charged with committing a public order offence following the incident in the UK.

It seems to be catching on

Well... I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again: You shouldn't throw shoes at people.

At this rate the shoe will eventually become a universally recognized symbol of fighting tyranny.

Heads of governments are no better no worse than anyone else.
Unless of course they prove themselves otherwise.
