OK, so we had the little business with the pen. Despite himself, Wen Jiabao broke character, allowing the most nervous of smiles to crease his lips for a moment in response to Prime Minister Koizumi's naked gambit.
Wen Jiabao had better watch out: he has been photographed acknowledging that Koizumi was right next to him!
Wen should realize that Chinese politics is inflexible and unforgiving, that photos condemn one to the political wilderness. Be in the wrong place at the wrong time next to the wrong person and you are forever marked. The rest of the leadership turns upon you like rabid dogs, destroying any hope you may have of ever being...
Oh, never mind.

Aaaaaarrrgh! The Michael Lives!
Seriously, I thought we wouldn't be hearing from you until next Halloween.
PS: Who's the guy in the upper-right corner of the photo?
If you know, please don't tell Hu Jintao or Zeng Qinghong!!!
