Roland Soong of ESWN digs up a website indicating that Wang Wenyi, the FLG practitioner who heckled Hu Jintao at the White House on Thursday, has a heckling history: a 2001 photo shows her confronting then-President Jiang Zemin in Malta.

Roland also translates results of a Hong Kong Oriental Daily newspaper poll about the heckling incident. 33% said the U.S. government deliberately set it up; 62% said “USA is not a trustworthy partner.”
