i hate to dredge this thread back up, but i have one on-topic!
The Aussie PM, Kevin Rudd, is in China, and publicly criticised China's actions in Tibet. The Chinese government promptly told him to butt out, and the Chinese press didn't report his comments. It's worth pointing out that Rudd speaks fluent Mandarin and is a former diplomat.
