The Chinese premier Wen Jiabao's performance during the earthquake relief effort over the last two weeks has given his popularity a powerful boost. And now someone has started a Facebook fan page for him that so far has more than 12,000 supporters.
Wen, or 'Baobao' as many of his supporters call him, has had a legion of online fans for several years, a long time before the Sichuan earthquake. See for example this Danwei post: A portrait of the Premier as a young man (from 2007).
In 2005, a blog appeared on a popular blog host service that was allegedly written Wen (see this Danwei post).
