And that name will be forgotten with in a month... Even if you go onto
the street now asking who is Wang Wenyi and you will get that blank look
from 99% of the people.

Wang who? A symbol of defiance would not have been removed by security officers of a country that champions freedom and democracy, a symbol of stupidity would.

The official Chinese media may not have reported the heckler or some
of the other boorish incidents. But pictures, videos and descriptions
are all over the Internet, stoking anger even among those blogs
outside the PRC that normally spend their time bashing the Chinese
Communist Party.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the long-term consequences of
Thursday's events for the US and people everywhere yearning for a
lowering of international tensions would turn out to be both negative
and significant," said the China Confidential blog.

This was Bush's Belgrade moment. There may be a few Chinese who do not
believe that the United States deliberately bombed the Chinese Embassy
in Belgrade in May 1999. There might be a few Chinese who don't
believe that the US deliberately sought to humiliate Hu.

What many can't understand is not only how the heckler was permitted
so close to the two presidents but why she was allowed to scream abuse
for such a long time. Watching it on Fox News, it seemed to go on
forever, and one wondered why somebody didn't remove her.

As it turns out the heckler, Wang Wenji, had obtained media
credentials from the Epoch Times, an online Falungong newspaper. Later
the Epoch Times apologized and said, rather disingenuously, "If the
Epoch Times had known of her intentions to protest we would have seen
that her press credentials were withdrawn."

In fact, Wang is notorious. She has protested outside Chinese
consulates before and on an earlier occasion broke through the
security barrier to confront former Chinese president Jiang Zemin
while he was visiting Malta in 2001. Could the US Secret Service not
have known of her?
