From Reuters:
Does Chinese President Hu Jintao give you goosebumps? Got the hots for Premier Wen Jiabao? Then Communist Party mouthpiece the People’s Daily has the answer — join their online fan club.
While Chinese politicians are not normally known for star appeal — drabness and formal handshakes are more their style — the People’s Daily is making a stab at changing all that on their new “Jin and Bao Fans’ Zone” (http://politics.people.com.cn/GB/8198/132796/index.html).
“It’s to let fans who ardently love the general secretary and premier have a platform to express their emotions, have discussions and communicate,” the newspaper wrote on its website on Thursday.
