Lu Kewen a China “Rock Star”

It appears from the Australian’s article “Savy Leap Forward” that Kevin Rudd is very popular with the Chinese people……and that his biography is selling well in Beijing. The article lauds Rudd’s language skills and says:
“He does speak good Chinese, and that should help to increase the ordinary Chinese person’s sense of intimacy with him. But his knowledge of China will also make him more objective towards the country. I have noticed that he proposes specific co-operation with China, for instance in the services sector and in financial institutions, rather than relying on the rhetoric of general principles like ‘we should strengthen co-operation’.”
Zhang believes Rudd’s knowledge of Chinese culture and thinking would enable him to talk tactfully about sensitive subjects. “He won’t stand back from raising topics like Tibet or human rights, but nor will he pursue the US line in the same way as the Howard administration.”
It is pleasing that China will not see Australia under Rudd’s leadership as a vassal of the USA and that will be good for all of us!
