Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao now has a Facebook page. It's not known who set up the profile that now features Wen's official government photo, but it's clear the premier has some fans — with more than 13,000 "supporters" as of Wednesday.
His Facebook page was set up two days after the quake. It's full of supportive comments and photos of him walking through the rubble and comforting victims.
"I love you, oh my God," Tina Wong of Hong Kong posted.
"A model Premier for the world!" Sukant Chandan of London added.
"It's so great 2 see u here!" Celeste Lee of China said.
The 66-year-old Wen's ability to show up quickly at the site of a disaster — coal mine explosions, snowstorm-blocked railways — and look sympathetic has made him the often distant-seeming Chinese leadership's most popular figure.
